How the world works c/o Connex trains

So it looks like this
a train carriage full of clowns
dressed up in mostly matching get ups
looking glum, pensive, grumpy or just plain over it
the 3 respectable gents in their 40's
half awake, not much left to say after the day's events
the freshly busted out of teens couple
with cute little baby in matching clown suit
Mummy clown fawning over baby clown
Daddy clown fawning over mummy clown
and Uncle clown thinking that the boss was going to take it out of his wages
Episode 4, a dew nope?
Not much hope felt from the other side of the carriage
a gaggle of girlies in matching clown kit
looking, giggling and almost drowning in badges, scarves etc
Ducking behind heads
adjusting of fringes
Didn't the dynamic change when we stopped at postage station!
a gaggle minus a the majority equals 1
now looking very shy,
not so giggly
eyes darting about.
a debonair couple counting down the stops and minutes
the spiky haired bogey boys
proudly displaying their clown clathes
a couple in their 50's
a comfortable rapport
disappointed but not despairing
a good natured sense of camaraderie
even a clown from another town
dressed in his special clown kit for 'special' renaissance clowns
i promising beginning if ever there was one...
