It's incontrovertible, anyone
can see it. Irish clowns love pizza!
Look at how they dress, their tomato-red jumpsuits,
dolloped with dots of cheesy yellow.

Watch them stretch and tumble, contorting
themselves into impossible shapes, 
four of them together, combining
to spell out the word L-O-V-E 

on a postage stamp with bouncy hearts, 
one for your love note to pizza, and perhaps 
one to Guinness as well. (I've heard it
pairs best with mushrooms.) Sláinte!





This draft poem was written for the Miz Quickly prompt to create a poem celebrating love of pizza, as well as for NaPoWriMo challenge to select an interesting postage stamp to use as inspiration for a poem. I truly think these Irish clowns celebrate their love of pizza in their sartorial choice.
