Someone Special
by Betty Eskdale (Age: 63)
copyright 08-19-2001


Age Rating: 1 to 127

 
Look! Who’s coming down the street?
A big red nose, and funny feet
He makes you want to laugh out loud
See him liven up the crowd?

We’re happier when he’s around
We love it when he comes to town.
A big parade with floats and bands
With happy people waving hands;

He makes us giggle with his talk,
His silly laugh, his funny walk.
We all want to have him near
When the kids spot him, they cheer!

He wears clothes we wouldn’t wear
And just look, is that his hair?
Such a color and such a style
His very image makes us smile

A huge red smile and gloves of white
You’ll never seen a funnier sight;
Oh, now he’s gone, oh, please don’t frown,
Here comes another funny clown!!


He wears makeup and funny clothes
A Shriner, yes, he’s one of those
He walks to make us all aware
Of just how much the Shriners care.

He walks to help some others walk
His actions take the place of talk
Young children who need help, just ask!
He’ll find a way to do the task.

Shriners have fun but are serious men
They have a job to do, but then
They like to laugh and do good deeds
For children who have special needs.

Thanks, Les....they are very special guys, they put in a lot of time and hard work for the little ones. When they return from the hospital after visiting the sick kids, they have smiles on their faces but tears in their eyes....

Great write. I was just expecting a poem about clowns but as I read it turned into a really good message.

This is a good poem Betty, I am not familiar with the term "Shriner" But after reading the other comments I see why you have written this.

Excellent!

Thank you ladies, my husband is a clown, as Bunny is more or less telling in her note. He has the sweetest little pal, dressed the same, who pedals a unicycle with the help of the big clown. Everyone loves him, little old ladies and babies want to kiss him, I wish I could show you a picture, had one on share your world but I think it has gone down the tubes.

Are you talking about Skeezix and Zeke??? Uncle Kenny??? He was always somewhat of a clown but he looks great in his gear...and he does a wonderful job as a clown!! Good poem, Baby!!! Love, Buns

A very sweet tribute to an excellent organization!

Thank you, I just read your poem, I felt unequipped to comment, how sad that children suffer so, it is good to know there are people who want to help!
