That's what they do <br />In a three-ring circus <br />When something goes wrong <br />They send in the clowns <br /> <br />It's to distract the audience <br />From the ring with a problem <br />Sometimes a net breaks <br />Sometimes an animal balks <br /> <br />A political example <br />Of sending in the clowns <br />Is Ms. Clinton being sent <br />To the Mideast to broker peace <br /> <br />The resulting cease fire <br />In a fagile tent <br />That may catch fire <br />Then it's back to weasons for hire<br /><br />Tom J.
