"The Clown"

Sophia Becraft1

The very scary clown
He walks in big shoes
Making all these sounds

He will make you frown
You will shriek spreading the news
The very scary clown

All through the town
Going around screaming boo
Making all these sounds

Afraid to look around
They all feel so blue
The very scary clown

Not a person found
No one would have a clue
Making all these sounds

Stomping on the ground
His, nasty, gross goo
The very scary clown
Making all these sounds
