Halloween Countdown Day 24: Coulrophobia

Coulrophobia

See all the circus clowns

Dressed in their bright colors

And making their loud sounds

They’re just merry and gay

And wouldn’t hurt a fly

Or so they would portray

But it’s just a disguise

Just a friendly facade

So you’d better get wise

Now just a minute, kind sir

Your soul is in danger

They are quite sinister

For just behind their works

Under all that grease paint

A most vile evil lurks

Clowns are demons most foul

Soul-eaters who devour

But they smile, they don’t growl

People just disappear

Most leaving not a trace

When those clowns come each year

Please, do not scoff so

This is a dire warning!

Something you need to know

Best you don’t come around

When you see the circus

Has just rolled into town
