Poetic Bloomings Clown

A Clown Slipped

In a shady park,
I took my two kids
to see Ronald McDonald
do corny tricks.

Obnoxious children
on the front row
(not mine this time)
began heckling.

Ronald continued his routine
he must have practiced
many times in clown school
or other performances.

But that look flitted in his eyes
unmasked by white makeup,
(I knew it well)
Let me throttle those brats!
