Clown Shoes

I found my clown shoes in the trash.
That’s not where they belong.
I put them on and tied them twice.
To take them off was wrong.

I ask that you put on yours too.
Let’s set this friendship right.
There is no need for it to end.
Make sure you tie them tight.

We’ll wear our clown shoes all the time
and as good friends, we’ll grow.
Of other things, we’ll never talk.
Pretend we do not know.

Come back, I’m worth a second chance.
Much happier you’ll be.
On bended knee, I ask you please,
My friend, come back to me.

Auguste, kneel and I shall grant your wish
while you juggle a painted dish
in clown shoes, I see sad smiles
and wondering if I am worth your while....

This...is wonderful!

This is so great...and such a unique way of asking for a second chance. So well done.

Sunshine and JLR,

Thank you for the replies. I do hope that I will get a second chance.
