Clara the Clown © Grimes Deptford. 2006

I am a clown, a knave.

No grave face on me

The masquerade is here.

I am a jester, a joke on my lips.

Listen.

A serenade in your ear

Let me persuade you to stay a while.

Promise I’ll never mislay this smile.

I will be

Comical

Musical

Mystical

Please Be my friend & we’ll all join the Carnival.

It’s a wonderful day.

Let me entertain you.

I am a coquette, a fool,

I’ll amuse you.

The main parade is here.

I bequeath you my heart, a gift from me.

A fiddle a riddle a diddle de Dee

Oh yes I will be.

Flirtatious

Vivacious

Audacious Good gracious,

I’ll never be any thing else.

So let me assure you, my smile is in place.

I am a clown, a joker a knave.

No grave face on me.

I will smile my way to the end.

To the grave

So, So, So

Say hello to the clown.
