Only Stephen King Fans Will Really Care

So I got bored, and I can't remember the exact situation. I think I was watching a quiz show and one of the questions mentioned Wordsworth's 'I wandered lonely as a cloud' poem, so I started reimaginging 'cloud' as 'clown' and then with the word 'float' in the second line I was gone. I created this pointless little piece.

Pennywise's Paean

I wandered hungry as a clown
That floats [we all float!] o'er dales
When all at once I saw a crowd
A host, of golden-haired and tasty
Kids; beside the Barrens here
Singing and hiding in the trees

Continuous as the rats that line
My sewers where I wend my way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the sunset of the day:
Ten thousand saw I as I drooled
Tossing their heads, the innocent fools.

The rain around them fell; but they
Did wear their yellow macs in glee:
A gourmand could not but be gay,
In such delicious company:
I grazed--and grazed--but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when in my pipe I lie
In craving or in greedy mood,
I flash upon his little arm
Which as a keepsake is embalmed;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
I ate until I'd had my fill.
