First of May's Special

PT Barnum said, " A Clown is a peg upon which to build a circus."
Clowns are very important to the circus. I have seen circuses without clowns, and left with an empty feeling. Other circuses have a comedian as a clown. Even though the comedian was very funny. It was not a clown.

There's nothing more fun then a gaggle of clowns interacting with one another to the delight of the audience.
You may wonder where do clowns come from?
I will tell you. Clowns are born in the circus on May 1st.
Thus, the title of “First of May” is given to a rookie, novice, or beginner clown.

Legend, Myth or Folklore tells us that a clown, in the northern hemisphere is born on May first, since traditionally, that was around the time when circuses begun their yearly tour. May being the beginning of the warm season, leading toward summer.

In the southern hemisphere they were born around the month of August, but even they celebrate May first as “All Clowns Birthday.” Why? Just because, OK?

Now you know the truth behind a “First of May, “ and All Clowns Birthday.

Won’t you help us celebrate?

I would like to hear from you as to what would be a proper “All Clowns Birthday” gift, greeting, and celebration.

Your very own clown,
