Welcome to the Ballpit

Little clown guy animation

‘Twas the night before clownmas and throughout the dimension

The things that were stirring were beyond comprehension.

Through the halls there wandered a clown or two,

making merry with goblets of steaming clown brew

‘Hark!’ said a clown, her hand to her ear,

‘For I do believe that ceiling clown is near!’

The clowns hooped and hollered and honked with delight,

and they went to where ceiling clown would come in the night.

And ceiling clown did arrive, melting through what is and what wasn’t

To deliver to good clowns a most enjoyable present

And with that he extended his tongue,

from which a beautiful gift was hung.

It was glistening with glitter and wrapping and spittle,

And from the 4th dimension it was somehow both large and little.

The clowns opened the box with a good hearty cheer,

and found within their dreams and hopes of the past year.

They cried and they honked as they remembered good times,

Their chuckles, their jokes, their songs and their rhymes.

For Clownmas is a time to remember who you are,

Anchoring yourself in kindness and loving friends near and far,

And with that the Ceiling clown faded with a chuckle and a wave,
