Silent clown that mimics us
May you step before a bus
And vanish from our company
Gone from where you used to be
No more to follow us about
And snicker while we scream and shout
Your haughty face that paint conceals
Would look so grand beneath those wheels
While the stain you leave behind
Would serve to warn the other mimes
Silent clown that mimics us
May you step before a bus.

- Comment from author about the poem: Saw a mime following behind a couple who were in the midst of a heated argument. He mocked them unmercifully until the guy finally noticed him and angrily stormed away. This is for that guy.

Love this, great rhyming and really interesting 🙂
One man's tragedy, another man's mirth.
I am laughing so hard... thanks for this.
I know that feeling. Why? (and this is not directed at you C, but to any other contributor to this column - you get it).
I happen to quite like mime as an art form. But this idiot contributed nothing to the peace and harmony some poets here witter on about.
Who, in any relationship has never had a row? And to take the piss out of two unfortunates who happen to be having a bad day does credit to neither the clown or his audience.
The actual piece? Goes without saying – a neat polished job.
