"I Was An Abused Clown as a Child Writing Haikus on Earth Day" I was a clown that was abused My mother, she was cruel. She made me write haikus and such before I went to school. On Earth Day, she was adament about the way I dressed. She said I looked just like a clown, my brothers will attest. And Justin Kace you didn't know, my cousin, Justin Sayne, decided he would join me and we wrote this short refrain: "Mother, you're abusive. You really make us sick! We think that we will run away and split this scene real quick! Because you treat us badly and make us write haikus, you've given our whole family a bad case of the blues! You are abusive, Mother. And so we have to say, this whole damn Justin family is leaving on Earth Day." And on that note, we did just that, we up and split that joint. And Mother scowled and cursed us out and said we'd missed the point. "I make you write haikus because it is an exercise! It's 'sposed to make you think of life and stop your nasty lies! You boys are just a bunch of clowns, a fact you can't refute! So, get up off your lazy butts One day, you'll see the 'stute!" And so it was, on Earth Day when we ran away and split. We said, "We'll not take this abuse! We will have none of it!" And years went by and then one day we found that Mom was right, we ended up inside the 'stute when they turned out the light. The funny thing, I'm telling you, is that, for therapy, they made us write haikus at night! They say it sets us free! signed, Justin Thyme, 'Stute Escapee |
