He bent himself into a pretzel like this.

Everyone looked awfully blue.

Cloony the Clown sat down and cried.

They said come skating;

Simply because he was not funny.

He did the Jerk and the Bunny Hug.

Depends how thin you cut it.

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

Depends how much you give em.

And thought hed do some dancin there.

Depends how good you live em.

They meant ice.

But this afternoon by the lions cage

Bowin oh so charmingly,

He did the Polka, he did the Twist,

Buy Shel Silversteins Poetry

And its rather dark in here.

And now ｈttｐs://ｒead•９9csｗ•ｃomhes down upon one knee,

He had a trombone to play loud silly tunes,

And every time he stood on his head,

From Saint Tropez to Mun San Nee.

Lasting till forever after,

But he just wasnt, just wasnt funny at all.

How many slices in a bread?

Who worked in a circus that came through town.

And while the world laughed outside.

They said come skating;

The laughter spread for miles around

And he told them all why he felt so bad.

And he told them all why he looked so sad,

And he said,"THAT IS NOT WHAT Iｒｅａd.99cｓｗ•ｃｏm MEANT -

They laughed until they shook the trees

So please excuse the handwriting

They said come skating;

He did the Waltz and the Boogaloo,

Everybody fell asleep.

And every time he made a leap,

And every time he ate his tie,

Everyone began to cry.

One day he said, "Ill tell this town

Which may not be too clear.

And its rather dark in here.

I am writing these poems

Folks sighed as if their hearts were broke.

He started jumpin and skippin and kickin,

Danny ODare, the dancin bear,

He told of Darkness in his soul,

They laughed all day, they la九_九_藏_書ughed all week,

And Cloony could not make any money

It sounded nice.

Id done it twice.

He had a green dog and a thousand balloons.

And every time he did a trick,

Ran away from the County Fair,

With his head drooped low and his shoulders bent.

And after he finished his tale of woe,

They laughed until their jackets split.

I wore roller-

And every time he lost a shoe,

But he just wasnt, just wasnt funny at all.

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

He was floppy and sloppy九-九-藏-書 and skinny and tall,

From inside a lion,

He did a dance called the Funky Chicken,

He did the Dog and the Jitterbug,

Ran right up to my back stair

Everyone screamed, "Go back to bed!"

Depends how loud you shut it.

Did everyone cry? Oh no, no, no,

He did the Bop and the Mashed Potata,

And Im writing these lines

How much good inside a day?

How much love inside a friend?

Danny ODare wants to dance with me.

He told of Pain and Rain and Cold,

From inside a lion,

They laughed with howls and yowls and shrieks,

To every citread.99csw.comy, every town,

And soon the whole world rang with laughter,

Im afraid I got too near.

They laughed until they had a fit,

Ill tell you the story of Cloony the Clown

How many slams in an old screen door?

And winkin and smilin--its easy to see

How it feels to be an unfunny clown."

While Cloony stood in the circus tent,

Over mountains, cross the sea,

Everyone felt a little sick.

He did the Split and the See Ya Later.

They said its so nice.

And every time he told a joke,

IM FUNNY JUST BY ACCIDENT."

He did the Hokey-Pokey too.
