Loop Poem

This Act Stinks!

by kiwisteveh



I bring you brave Loopy, the clown -

Clown of the year - yes he was!

Was ever a clown so renowned?

Renowned for his glorious schnoz.


Schnoz? You could call it a hooter;

Hooter or trumpet or trunk.

Trunk, but a little bit cuter -

Cuter than Skeeter the skunk.


Skunk was a Loopy invention,

Invention to spice up his act;

Act for the Clowny Convention.

Convention where Loopy got whacked.


Whacked, as in flattened or flummoxed,

Flummoxed his skunk was a fail;

Fail when the skunky old lummox

Lummoxed away with his tail.


Tail in the air, Skeeter squirted,

Squirted aroma around.

Around the convention deserted -

Deserted, no guests to be found.


*********************


Found Loopy down-hearted, years after -

After his act had to die.

"Die," Loopy mumbled, "No laughter."

"Laughter? Who needs it? Not I!"
