No, it is not a typo! I really did have an Early visit. Early is a clown and he lives next door. He is not just a regular joker that a person might refer to as a clown but an honest to goodness, big shoe, bright colour, makeup wearing, big-red-nose clown.
Clowns make interesting neighbours, at least in this case! He keeps the exterior of his home neat and tidy – though the trim is painted fire engine shiny red and he does put gold fluffy tinsel on his railings year around and as well his porch is covered with red tube lighting. As well, there is the matter of the polka-dot car. This said, he also has an exceptionally clean home, though admittedly his sofa is multi-colored neon in a pink living-room and his back garden is bright yellow and pink from ground to six feet up the walls.
He also, and not surprisingly, has vibrant art work, though these are nearly all clown pictures. In short it is almost as though the home is a giant three story cartoon! Honestly, visiting Early is sort of like visiting Switzerland! Not that the Swiss have anything to do with clowns really, it is just that when you visit Switzerland you expect it to look like a post card image that you have on your mind and visiting Early’s home is just like this. It is, if you can imagine, what a clown’s home ought to look like!
The front hall chair wears clown feet. There is a retired early period McDonalds booth in his kitchen – which has been, no doubt donated by Early’s next of kin Ronald of the red hair. The colors are bright and whimsical. It is a home that you must always feel bright and happy when visiting. It is a warm and welcoming home despite the bright colours and most would feel very comfortable there.
Truthfully, it might not be the same for you folks that are weirdly afraid of clowns – For you I am sure it is the home that nightmares are made of! Happy clowns faces peering out at you from every direction attempting to make you smile. Little statues, photos, parties with loads of clowns, big red smiling lips and honker noses! Imagine that!? I know, I know! Now you need therapy – like you did not already in the first place!
Not me, I do not fear clowns! I like clowns and I like Early. He is comical, truthful, cheery and a helpful, a great neighbour. I think we all should have a clown next door! They certainly are much nicer than the village idiot types that somehow we call clowns but are really not similar in type at all!
Do you have any interesting neighbours in your area?
