This is called, "Bozo Sapphics".

00:00:04.110 --> 00:00:07.170 align:middle line:84%
And it's in seven
parts but brief parts.

00:00:07.170 --> 00:00:09.960 align:middle line:90%
"Bozo Sapphics".

00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:12.570 align:middle line:90%
"Bozo, Toe to Toe.

turns to freedom fighter.

00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:21.420 align:middle line:84%
Likewise, clowns in the
funhouse mirror stand as kings.

00:00:21.420 --> 00:00:25.740 align:middle line:84%
Self-interested theories on
which Bozo calls bullshit.

00:00:25.740 --> 00:00:27.960 align:middle line:90%
Bozo's Imbroglio.

00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:31.830 align:middle line:84%
Showmen, offered
tenderness, tend to take it.

00:00:31.830 --> 00:00:33.180 align:middle line:90%
Husbands know this.

00:00:33.180 --> 00:00:35.610 align:middle line:84%
Tickle a clown:
does he not laugh?

00:00:35.610 --> 00:00:38.880 align:middle line:84%
Then why subpoena him,
why inflict more pricks

00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:41.310 align:middle line:90%
on this Bozo?

00:00:41.310 --> 00:00:44.010 align:middle line:90%
Bozo, Woe.

00:00:44.010 --> 00:00:47.550 align:middle line:84%
Bozo's six apologies, five
excuses, four rebuffs,

00:00:47.550 --> 00:00:51.390 align:middle line:84%
and three switcheroos
are met by two deaf ears.

00:00:51.390 --> 00:00:56.391 align:middle line:84%
Behaviorists gather, call
this first-order clowning.

00:00:56.391 --> 00:00:59.190 align:middle line:90%
Rebozos.

00:00:59.190 --> 00:01:03.300 align:middle line:84%
Scarves, of ample length, that
are brightly dyed and chiefly

00:01:03.300 --> 00:01:05.129 align:middle line:90%
worn by Mexican women.

00:01:05.129 --> 00:01:07.500 align:middle line:90%
Not a further bozo.

00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:09.540 align:middle line:90%
Not an attempt at cloning.

00:01:09.540 --> 00:01:12.150 align:middle line:90%
Shudder to think it.

00:01:12.150 --> 00:01:14.670 align:middle line:90%
Bozo, Quid Pro Quo.

00:01:14.670 --> 00:01:16.500 align:middle line:90%
Names, he knows.

00:01:16.500 --> 00:01:19.740 align:middle line:84%
Our Bozo can cough up
names till cows croak.

00:01:19.740 --> 00:01:23.190 align:middle line:84%
Ask for names in return,
however... same old, same old:

00:01:23.190 --> 00:01:27.660 align:middle line:84%
'Bundle' in Old High German,
'Big Mouth' in Latin.

Comedy's tragic
center, Bozo cries

00:01:39.450 --> 00:01:40.780 align:middle line:90%
'ridiculous quibberdicking!

00:01:40.780 --> 00:01:43.890 align:middle line:90%
Ha ha ha.' Weeping.

00:01:43.890 --> 00:01:46.170 align:middle line:90%
Bozo, Incognito.

00:01:46.170 --> 00:01:48.150 align:middle line:90%
He's the older guy in the hat.

00:01:48.150 --> 00:01:51.600 align:middle line:84%
Or wait, the tap instructor,
cane and corsage,

00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:53.430 align:middle line:90%
about to pay his tab.

00:01:53.430 --> 00:01:54.990 align:middle line:90%
Or bartender Joe.

00:01:54.990 --> 00:01:56.310 align:middle line:90%
Good Jesus!

00:01:56.310 --> 00:01:57.855 align:middle line:90%
Everywhere: Bozo."

at the Seattle City Council

00:02:03.960 --> 00:02:07.130 align:middle line:90%
Chambers and they don't like it.
