Panther

Henry was a clown, but he was described by many as a gentleman and scholar and by the ringmaster who thought it was still the 70s as "groovy".
He would do anything for anyone. He was honest from head to toes. He was a one and only, a true original.
Some circuses had all the animals you'd ever heard about, but there were no rhinoceroses, tigers, cats or mink here. There were strongmen and acrobats and of course clowns.
Of all the funny animals in all the world, humans were the funniest and Henry was as rinky dink as the rest of the clowns.
Henry was thinking as he put on his nose and looked in the mirror. It wasn't as plain as the others', was it? No, it was pink, positively pink. Ever so pink.
