Police in Tampa, Florida appear to have clown issues from their youth. Matthew David Lopez, 18, was arrested for wearing a clown mask in public. (The picture is some other clown).
Isn’t it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air.
Send in the clowns.
Now, for the record, I was always scared of the clowns at the circus. However, some cities have passed laws criminalizing the wearing of masks or hoods that raise serious constitutional questions.
Isn’t it bliss?
Don’t you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can’t move.
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns.
On this occasion, a deputy spotted Lopez wearing a clown mask with red-orange hair around 1:00 pm. The teens took off when the officer tried to make contact with them.
Just when I’d stopped
Opening doors,
Finally knowing
The one that I wanted was yours,
Making my entrance again
With my usual flair,
Sure of my lines,
No one is there.
Lopez was charged with wearing a mask or hood in public and resisting an officer without violence.
Don’t you love farce?
My fault, I fear.
I thought that you’d want what I want –
Sorry, my dear.
But where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns.
Quick, send in the clowns.
Of course, Florida police are lucky. Minneapolis police are dealing with an infestation of zombies and would love a few clowns, here.
What a surprise.
Who could foresee
I’d come to feel about you
What you’d felt about me?
Why only now when i see
That you’d drifted away?
What a surprise.
What a cliché.

Isn’t it rich?
Isn’t it queer?
Losing my timing this late
In my career?
And where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns.
Don’t bother – they’re here.
Here is something to soothe Lopez’s clown-raged soul. As always, Sinatra did it best:
“I don’t care for White Owl”
ahh, you like a little color in yer meat ay….I can dig.
bet them rubber strips smart when they slap that a$$, huh?
Derty%er:
I don’t care for White Owl, a cheap dime store cigar made of bad tobacco and probably chopped as well. The equivalent of Mad Dog in terms of wine, come to think of it completely in line with you-cheap and crazy.
You know…to get under the armpits.
Quick question fer ya though “Duh”…..
Do you wear your clothes when you do that or do you strip down to the buff first?
“I may run thru the car wash.” – Duh
Sounds like fun.
🙂
Should be even more fun once you own a car.
hey…..git a room you two….heh heh
😉
bdaman,
Have fun at the races. I’m gonna head out for a while too. We’ve got sunshine and 40s here today. I may run thru the car wash.
Brown nosin…. as it were?
Why do they make you wear a muzzle?
😐
Is that to keep yer nose outta the dogs a$$ in front of you?
“Duh, Byron, good afternoon. I’m off to the races.” -Bdaman
Isn’t it hard for you chasing that rabbit like that?
I also like a Padron Anniversario.
A Short Story and a good single malt make for a very good way to end the day.
Or maybe you could suck on this Cuban I got here for ya…
🙂
..when he’s done trimming the lawn that is.
Duh, Byron, good afternoon. I’m off to the races. If you guys are at home today, why don’t you find a good book to read or watch the Olympics. Gerty will be by the computer all day. Get outside if you can for some fresh air. Have a great day!!!!!
Duh:
the short story is a great cigar.
ha ha, now ya know I’m just funnin ya Byron.
😛
Nothing wrong with your lifestyle.
“it is a cigar, I prefer a nice Partagas with a Maduro” Lyin Byron
Yea?
Well come on over here, I got a nice White Owl you can suck on.
Gerty%:
what did he say? I believe he smoked them as well.
I only smoke occasionally anyway, does he speak to that as well?
course we all knew he really was a punk, right?
Byron,
Have you ever tried the “Short Story”? One of my favorites.
