THE CIRCUS


Step right up!  There's plenty to see.
We have the rings.  Count them, one, two, three.
I am the ringmaster.  I welcome you all.
Glad you could join us.  Big or small.
We have the trapeeze artist and clowns, too.
We have our super poodles, wearing tutus.
The tightrope walker takes his stance
As the Russian Bears do their dance
The Human Cannonball flies through the air
The crowd goes silent as they quietly stare
The magician pulls a rabbit out of his hat
As the lion tamer's whip makes a loud snap
The tigers sit eerily on their perches high
With the ballerina on the elephant reaching for the sky
The cotton candy and peanuts are passed around
The event is a success, with smiles replacing frowns
Please come back soon to visit us
There is a lot to do at...
THE CIRCUS
