Can you help me identify any uses of literary devices( ex. figurative language [such as simile, metaphors, personification...], alliterations, allusions, rhythm, meter, repetition&#8230;.) in this poem? I know that there&#8217;s a rhyme scheme aa, bb, cc&#8230;

<p>Cloony The Clown<br />
by Shel Silverstein<br />
I&#8217;ll tell you the story of Cloony the Clown<br />
Who worked in a circus that came through town.<br />
His shoes were too big and his hat was too small,<br />
But he just wasn&#8217;t, just wasn&#8217;t funny at all.<br />
He had a trombone to play loud silly tunes,<br />
He had a green dog and a thousand balloons.<br />
He was floppy and sloppy and skinny and tall,<br />
But he just wasn&#8217;t, just wasn&#8217;t funny at all.<br />
And every time he did a trick,<br />
Everyone felt a little sick.<br />
And every time he told a joke,<br />
Folks sighed as if their hearts were broke.<br />
And every time he lost a shoe,<br />
Everyone looked awfully blue.<br />
And every time he stood on his head,<br />
Everyone screamed, &#8220;Go back to bed!&#8221;<br />
And every time he made a leap,<br />
Everybody fell asleep.<br />
And every time he ate his tie,<br />
Everyone began to cry.<br />
And Cloony could not make any money<br />
Simply because he was not funny.<br />
One day he said, &#8220;I&#8217;ll tell this town<br />
How it feels to be an unfunny clown.&#8221;<br />
And he told them all why he looked so sad,<br />
And he told them all why he felt so bad.<br />
He told of Pain and Rain and Cold,<br />
He told of Darkness in his soul,<br />
And after he finished his tale of woe,<br />
Did everyone cry? Oh no, no, no,<br />
They laughed until they shook the trees<br />
With &#8220;Hah-Hah-Hahs&#8221; and &#8220;Hee-Hee-Hees.&#8221;<br />
They laughed with howls and yowls and shrieks,<br />
They laughed all day, they laughed all week,<br />
They laughed until they had a fit,<br />
They laughed until their jackets split.<br />
The laughter spread for miles around<br />
To every city, every town,<br />
Over mountains, &#8216;cross the sea,<br />
From Saint Tropez to Mun San Nee.<br />
And soon the whole world rang with laughter,<br />
Lasting till forever after,<br />
While Cloony stood in the circus tent,<br />
With his head drooped low and his shoulders bent.<br />
And he said,&#8221;THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEANT -<br />
I&#8217;M FUNNY JUST BY ACCIDENT.&#8221;<br />
And while the world laughed outside.<br />
Cloony the Clown sat down and cried.<br/><br/><a href=''></a></div>
