You are looking for the words to an old poem you think it's called Little Joe Tunney It was published in Childcraft book Vol 2 circa 1961 I don't know the author?

It was written by Rebecca McCann. Here it is- Little Joe Tunney By Rebecca McCann There was a little boy And his name was Joe Tunney, He had but one failing: He tried to be funny. He made himself noticed IN all public places By making load noises And terrible faces. One day at the circus He wouldn't sit down. He stood up and tried To perform like a clown. The clown said, "All right, If you must jump and sing, Come out with the show And perform in the ring." So out ran young Joe, Acting foolish and wild, And everyone watched him But nobody smiled. The actors all watched him The band loudly blared, In dignified silence The animals stared. Thought poor little Joe, Standing lonely and small, "Oh, what shall I do? I'm no funny at all!" Then the elephant spoke In the elephant tongue, "I'll help that boy out - After all, he's so young." And he lifted Joe up With his trunk in the air And with one mighty sweep Put him back in his chair. The people all clapped And the clowns cheered for Joe, And he kept very still For the rest of the show.
