There was a young man from our town
Who often dressed up as a clown
With a big red nose
And colourful clothes
But the clown-a-phobics did frown.

It’s something furry and so small

So now that the town is lit up
I think I’ll drive in, for a cup
But the power went out
And I have no doubt

He’s black with a little white snout
Nothing’s safe while he is about
My beautiful shoe
Is now torn in two

Must get him a playmate, I guess
But would that make the carnage less?
Two's double trouble
My home would be rubble
