THE CLOWN PLEDGE: 
I pledge allegiance
To a world of clowns,
And that for which they stand,
For red noses and big shoes,
For rubber chickens and kazoos;
One alley, under God,
To promote laughter and
Goodwill to all

Prayer of a Clown 
Help me to create more laughter than tears,
dispense more happiness than gloom,
spread more cheer than despair.
 
Never let me grow so big that I will fail to see
the wonder in the eyes of a child or the
twinkle in the eyes of the aged.
 
Never let me forget that I am a CLOWN…that
my work is to cheer people up,
make them happy,
and make them laugh,
make them forget momentarily
all the unpleasant things in their lives…
 
Never let me jeopardize the integrity of
clowndom by improper conduct.  Help me
to always make others proud of my actions
as a clown.
 
Never let me acquire financial success to
the point where I will discontinue calling
upon my Creator in the hour of plenty.
