The Lyrics

The balls of that guy!! Here's the fourth installment of my unplanned series. In this one, a less-than-dexterous circus clown bemoans his limited skills in juggling. ;D



'Though I'm top clown in this big show,
There's one thing that I cannot do.
If you've ever seen me then you'll know,
For it's turned my red nose to blue.

Five balls in juggling -
Bad news for me.
I'm really struggling.
I can't do more than three.

I have the funniest costume.
Rainbow shades I've colored my hair.
Why am I feeling such deep gloom?
I can't keep five balls in the air.

Five balls - I'm straining.
I know the score.
No use complaing,
I haven't mastered four.

I'm finding this so demeaning.
The boss has told me in a rage -
One more slip then you'll be cleaning
The poop in the elephant's cage.

Five balls, woes mounting.
My bosses - shnooks.
Switched to accounting,
Now I'll jug-gle their books!



Someone said it: When attacked by a gang of of clowns, go straight for the juggler. ;D

Hope he was more successful at juggling the books. What can you do with six balls? I have a feeling we may find out.

Patrick - Hmmm. Have a three-on-a-team bowling tournament? ;D

I actually think five balls is rather unreasonable unless he gets a pay rise... he could take his boss to a tribunal for that! ;^) Paired with the OS the words of this parody have a magic all of their own - I'm just picturing that sad clown as I hear it. 555

(Spookily enough, the code I had to type in for this was P45 - which in the UK is the name of the tax document you get when you're fired!)

Here's some 5s to juggle.

555 for this and you don't need to juggle. I was thinking 5 might be balls on a pro basketball team, so they could all shoot. Tough boss - clean the elephant poop?

Dextrous wordplay and a deft denouement. I can't even do threes, but keying them is child's play.

Sorry, keying fives I meant, of course.
