Clown's tools

Baloons are the tools of EVIL! Thanks Deb for introducing me to Don Hertzfeldt's genius.


Though no clowns were shown in this short, we all know that where there are clowns there are baloons! Check out my poem about the evil that lurks in the hearts of clowns! Wow! I posted that poem for the first time in 2005, but I wrote it many years before that. I've been carrying this fear and belief about clowns around since I was a child.

The Evil That Lurks in the Hearts of Clowns
Beergee had this fear you see
not of spiders or of bees
she was scared of evil clowns
who wore pale makeup and visceral frowns
she says they hide behind that grimace
behind the grease paint you cannot miss it
that twinkle of torture waiting in the wings
for small children and other happy things
They wait to corrupt and grind them down
those poor innocents that mistake these clowns
for vessels of happiness and doers of good
when in fact they seethe with all that is lewd
Beergee you see discovered the truth
these lies these screens that the evil produce
So even ones who don't wear a jester's face
how can the look in their eyes be mistaked
keep yourself protected, keep yourself abreast
because these evil clowns walk among the rest
and you may have never thought, but Beergee always did
that clowns are evil and from this world must be rid
