And white powdered face
With red painted round lips
Walked with a small little pup
Who could fit in a
Tiny tiny tea cup.
It was a tiny teacup pup
Of the poodle variety
That traveled with the clown
With the big brown shoes
Who would actually frown
If not for the red painted
Round lips and white powdered
Face.
The clown did not have a
Town
Of his own to call his
Town
So every
Town
He traveled too was somebody else’s
Town
Always
Somebody else’s
Town.
And that
Made the clown
With the big brown shoes
And red painted round lips
Actually
Frown
A hidden frown
But it made the clown
Feel
Down
Really
Really
Down
Because
The clown was always
In somebody else’s
Town
Always
Somebody else’s
Town.
But,
Thank God
For the tiny teacup pup
That actually
Fit in a tiny
Teacup.
Because,
It was the pup
While venturing out of the cup
Looking for a small fire hydrant
That
Found a crown
And barked at the clown
Who bent down and picked up the crown
And held it
In his hands
And said,
“Wow.”
In an awestruck
Kind of way.
The crown was gold
And the clown
For reasons unknown
Began to cry
Big round, round tears
That streaked
Down, down
His white
Powdered face.
The clown did not feel so
Down
Now
That he held the crown
Even though
The clown was in
Somebody else’s
Town.
So
The clown placed
The crown
On his head
And began to dance
Around
Forcing the pup to jump back into the
Teacup
Though still needing to find a small
Fire hydrant.
So
Because of the crown
The clown
That used to feel down
Because he was always
Always
In somebody else’s
Town
Started to feel
Up
In an opposite of down
Kind of way
And he wondered
Why.
A woman dressed in a white gown
Then
Walked up to the clown
And asked
“Did you find the crown
And lose your frown?”
She saw the clown’s tears
Streaking down
His white powdered face
And answered her own
Question.
“I see you did, Clown. Now,
Let me show you around my town
And your
New
Town
Yes, Clown
Your
Town
Where you will never
Never
Feel
Down
Again.
So, cheer up
There is even good news for the pup
In the tiny teacup
Because Heaven
Even though you won’t find it written anywhere
Has many
Many
Small
Fire hydrants.”
And that is the story of the down clown without a town who found Heaven’s golden crown because of his tiny teacup pup’s small little bladder; just incase you were wondering.

And the last few lines made me grin like a doofus, right in the middle of giving a test on...would you believe it?...poetry.
Really fun poem, Henry. You going to have Dot and Mold in the next one? :-)
