If I make faces and paste a smile, <br />will you forget originality <br />and mimic my style? <br /> <br />Will you watch me do acrobatics? <br />Leap out of your fear to mid-air <br />revive your strength from up there? <br /> <br />Will my magic do the trick? <br />Transform your body with my wand <br />heal you with the flick of my hand? <br /> <br />If I buy you the doll you never had <br />will this soothe your aches as much <br />as your words cradle me as angels touch? <br /> <br />If I swear to be the funniest clown you will ever see, <br />will it turn your pains to tickles, <br />will you promise to laugh with me?<br /><br />Lynne RBC<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/clown/
