b-t-c in face paint

most clowns seem to prefer white

face paint, but not Bluffo-the-clown

though he doe prefer white faces

in practice as well as philosophy

as it used to was in the good old days

still, if he weren’t colorblind

perhaps he’d realize how

his red nose and tie

clash his orange cheeks

—poor Bluffo
