Default A clown poem....

.... 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?

I think he has a skill there! My son is 14 and getting him to form a proper sentence is work!

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!!
