If life is but a a circus
then we are only clowns
putting on a show
dressed for success
and looks to die for
but deep inside
its all big red noses
and floppy shoes
big horn honking
every time you reach orgasm
during sex
"come one"
"come all"
"see the silly clowns"
"in their BMWs"
saints roll their eyes
and snicker
a twisted side show in
some divine invention
as imortatal beings watch
from the cheap seats
Sadly another clown dies
but another is born
and soon gets his trademaek nose
a another riveting in the black comedy
of eternity

well then, my looks to die for must be on the inside because I'm sure my big red nose and floppy shoes are on the outside.
