en fantastisk klovn,
delte sine skatter.
Det var ikke bare det han sa,
Men, Herre, fjeset hans
var nok til å brøle av latter.
Jeg føler meg litt flau,
for tross alt
er det søndag og sent.
Det var vanvittig morsomt,
og gjorde meg godt,
men var det stuerent?
Dagens preken hadde vært
Vel … ganske deprimerende.
Latteren, Herre, tilgi meg
var velsignet inspirerende!
Kan engler komme kledd
i harlekinsklær?
Var den sprø klovnen
en tjener i din englehær?

Clown
O LORD!
I never laughed so much,  |
| 1981 - page 42 |
He's such a clown.
My sides are sore!
It's not just what he said
But, Lord, his face!
I had to roar.
I feel a bit ashamed
For after all
It's Sunday night.
Hilarious it was,
It did me good,
But was it right?
The preaching had been,
Well . . . a bit depressing;
The laughter, Lord forgive me,
Was a blessing!
Can angels wear
A Harlequinish gown?
Is he Your servant too,
This crazy clown?
