The Circus

The Circus

 

The circus had come to town

A three-ringed curious event

The applause of the little crowd

faint around the tent

 

The high wire acts with their ladies

Curvaceous way up there

Back and forth with their swinging

dangerous in midair

 

The lions and tigers were also featured

And roared way out loud

Showing all their teeth and claws

And whipped there all about

 

The clowns working for their applause

With their painted faces

Many children scared of them

And the adults hesitating

 

Come one come all the final call

To the greatest show on Earth

With the trainers hard and mean

Soon gone and out of work
