*This was originally supposed to be a silly parody of Andrew Gold’s song, “Spooky, scary skeletons”, but I fear that I made this song not-so-silly anymore.
Crazy, creepy clowns
Will eat your child’s flesh
Their laughter is always heard
Nothing can escape them
Crazy, creepy clowns
Are sure that you’ll be found
You’ll wish you were never born
When you hear that awful cackle
I guess it’s our fault
That clowns are scary
They used to bring joy
But the movies gave them terror
You see, they used to bring the idea of glee and silliness
Ever since we got a sliver screen and an imagination
We’ve fueled our wildest dreams
And turned them into feared nightmares
So now the crazy, creepy clowns
Are set out for revenge
We’ve corrupted their souls
And left only darkness
Just like we corrupt everything else
It’s not their fault they’re full of bloodlust
Maybe if we hadn’t let our greedy imaginations get the best of us
There would be no crazy, creepy clowns
Would there?
See, it’s our fault and we don’t want to admit it
It’s our fault the world is rotting
It’s our fault monsters exist
It’s our fault we’re in danger
It’s our fault the carnival is burning
And the kids are helpless
Nothing but disgusting cadavers
In a forgotten circus of magic
In a forgotten place of dreams
And with it, our forgotten in innocence and childhood
With it, our smiles
Our laughter
Till we’re serious shells
We made the clowns crazy and creepy
We did it
It’s our fault

Hi, hello there. This is Ina speaking. I am here to give you a comment/review about your "something kinda crazy I found in the Green Room" writing.
Wow, I love crazy stuff but I don't know why I didn't find this scary. It's just funny and it yells people that they should be frightened by clowns or maniacs. But like you said in your other different story that clowns try to make you laugh or scare you away because they think they are miserable and lonely. Well, I am just going to say, "that's just how the world works." By the way, don't forget to add screams at the ending.
Thank you for sharing a crazy writing of yours. Have a good morning, day, afternoon, or night.
Funny It Is despite the humor there.I mean It's self-deprecating but In a good way.Its tinged with a healthy amount of Insanity after all.I love Insanity ! Honesty though,It adds new dimensions to a story,a manic drive In the narrative.And you thrive In the Insanity.The last two Paras are the most effortlessly evocative stanzas I have seen recently
