.... by my ten year old son, Giggles.

Emmett Kelly

Oh, Emmett Kelly was a clown,
Whoses character did always frown.
When He lost his Job of ease,
On the flying trapeeze,
He just couldn't turn clowning down.

Weary Willie ,
Was the clown he did be,
Making kids happy.
Was what he liked to see!
When he died years ago,
Folks were sad all around.
Because Emmett's acts;
Could no longer be found.

By Eddie Miller AKA Giggles
age ten

Not bad Eh?

Great work!!

Scruff, looks like a bit of the ole tramp has rubbed off on him...

This is a great talent to develop, and very useful in many aspects of life later on. Maybe you guys could work out a routine using his talent?

The skys the limit!!

I understand Emmett's grandson is much more like him in looks as well as in clown temperament than his son. I've heard that his son can be difficult to work with. Kinda snooty.
