I
just read an article that covers the next big problem about to hit our
nation. According to the newspaper, this
may affect more people than Global Warming (now known as Climate Change), the
Polar Vortex, blizzards, freezing temperatures.
I’m talking about a national clown shortage.
Who
will warm our hearts when the next Ice Age hits? How many companies will lose money and have
to close their doors? If there is no
market for large balloon noses and oversized shoes, who will bring a smile to
the face of those who are laid off?
It’s
a vicious circle. No clowns to buy the
noses to bring a little cheer to the unemployed who are unemployed because
there are no clowns.
I
know that may not seem important, but what about the other jobs that will be
lost. There will be nobody to buy the
elaborate make-up and wild wigs and the outrageous clothes. What will the seltzer companies do when there
are no more clowns to buy their product?
Will we ever again see 10 grown men exiting a small car? What will happen to the circus or the
rodeos? Who will sweep the shadow into a
dustpan?
Clowning
is truly a dying art. Many of the older
clowns are too old and there are not so many young people interested in
clowning.
It’s
time to make clowning more glamorous. We
have to get out the word that Clowning can be a wonderful profession. More education is needed to get young people
interested in Clowning.
Save
the Clowns!

It's all Stephen King's fault. I've hated clowns ever since reading "It".
there are a few clowns out there that don't even know they are
