My Own Sweet Clown Doll

I have an orange clown doll on my desk.

She is obviously from the 60's, perky and red-lipsticked

Dressed in orange, with sharp netting around her neck and ankles.

.My children do not say anything about my fantastically beautiful office

 except"I don't like the clown."

This has elevated her to my most particular die-hard favorite item.

She is not going anywhere, ever,

Because I love her more every time someone says it.

When I am dead, they will fight over this doll,

And I will laugh.
