I remember the joker
with that funny smile on his face
he was juggling empty bottles
children staring dazed
a round fake nose
on his white painted face
and in red was lined
that funny smile on his face
He played with the kids
as one among them all
riding them on his back
or balancing the balls
A naughty kid came up
and threw water on his face
laughed, he, on his prank
and on that misfigured face
For the white paint had come out
the red smile slided down
that funny smile on his face
had turned into a frown
the kids started laughing
and they laughed out too loud
and the otherwise funny joker
was now suddenly in doubt
But seeing the kids amused
he widened his grin
which made his face look
like that of a joker crying
and the kids laughed louder
but i got into thinking
has he really widened his smile?
or is he...crying?
