I wore roller-

And soon the whole world rang with laughter,

While Cloony stood in the circus tent,

But this afternoon by the lions cage

And winkin and smilin--its easy to see

How many slams in an old screen door?

Everyone looked awfully blue.

He bent himself into a pretzel like this.

Buy Shel Silversteins Poetry

And after he finished his tale of woe,

Everyone felt a little sick.

Depends how loud you shut it.

Bowin oh so charmingly,

But he just wasnt, just wasnt funny at all.

To every city, every town,

He did the Jerk and the Bunny Hug.

They said come www.99lib.netskating;

He did the Split and the See Ya Later.

How much good inside a day?

Which may not be too clear.

Depends how thin you cut it.

From inside a lion,

Danny ODare, the dancin bear,

How it feels to be an unfunny clown."

He told of Darkness in his soul,

He did a dance called the Funky Chicken,

I am writing these poems

Folks sighed as if their hearts were broke.

It sounded nice.

Ill tell you the story of Cloony the Clown

Ran right up to my back stair

How much love inside a friend?

He did the Bop 九_九_藏_书_网and the Mashed Potata,

Depends how much you give em.

He had a green dog and a thousand balloons.

His shoes were too big and his hat was too small,

He was floppy and sloppy and skinny and tall,

Danny ODare wants to dance with me.

With "Hah-Hah-Hahs" and "Hee-Hee-Hees."

Lasting till forever after,

And he told them all why he looked so sad,

And Cloony could not make any money

The laughter spread for miles around

They said its so nice.

And he said,"THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEANT -

They said come skating;

Did everyone cry? Oh no, no, no,

He started jumpin and skippin and kickin,

Over mountains, cross the sea,

He did the Hokey-Pokey too.

And now hes down upon one knee,

And thought hed do some dancin there.

And every time he lost a shoe,

Who worked in a circus that came through town.

Simply because he was not funny.

From Saint Tropez to Mun San Nee.

And every time he stood on his head,

With his head drooped low and his shoulders bent.

Im afraid I got too near.

And Im writing these lines

They laughed with howlsｈttｐ://wｗw.９9ｌｉｂ.nｅt and yowls and shrieks,

They meant ice.

He did the Polka, he did the Twist,

From inside a lion,

And every time he made a leap,

IM FUNNY JUST BY ACCIDENT."

But he just wasnt, just wasnt funny at all.

One day he said, "Ill tell this town

And every time he told a joke,

They laughed until their jackets split.

He did the Dog and the Jitterbug,

And its rather dark in here.

He told of Pain and Rain and Cold,

Everyone began to cry.

Depends how good you live em.

How many slices in a bread?

So please excuse the handwriting

Anhttp://www.99lib.netd every time he did a trick,

Cloony the Clown sat down and cried.

Everyone screamed, "Go back to bed!"

They said come skating;

They laughed until they had a fit,

And while the world laughed outside.

He did the Waltz and the Boogaloo,

Id done it twice.

And he told them all why he felt so bad.

And every time he ate his tie,

Everybody fell asleep.

And its rather dark in here.

He had a trombone to play loud silly tunes,

Ran away from the County Fair,

They laughed until they shook the trees

They laughed all day, they laughed all week,
