Clown Strip Sometimes this life thing is something to watch with morbid fascination like a clown striptease.... Feel the bounce, Whizzo up there humping the pole, sweat drooping off the polka dot moustache and the tips of the floppy shoes wagging circles to the beat while the wagon wheel hat dips like a jellyfish under the spell of that feral slide trombone.... .....until the motley’s off, and oh, man, why did I come? ...and will I ever again? |

Ed...I know that clowns are supposed to make you laugh, but they always made me sad...being someone else then who they were. It might be interesting to see a clown strip down to his real humanness...huh? |

Sometimes this life thing is something to watch with morbid fascination like a clown striptease.... And watching through your eyes is a treat. *S* You paint such a vivid picture that we can smell the grease paint and sweat... hear the slide of the trombone and the flap of the shoes. And you flavor the frenzy with a wistfulness that reminds us of so many things that colored our lives... that only come again in memories. *S* Excellent work, my friend... one I'll enjoy reading again and again. *S* [This message has been edited by suthern (08-04-2003 01:09 PM).] |
