PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I want to join the circus,

I want to ride the pony,

I want to dance on the hiney

of a galloping horse.

I want to walk the high wire.

Ummm, no, I don't.

But, I want to join the circus,

I want to take the prat fall,

Join the clowns stuffing,

Into the mini bus.

I want to tame the tigers.

Well, maybe, not that.

I need to join the circus.

To ride on the elephant's neck

Feed him some peanuts

Then set him free.

I want to fly on the trapeeeze.

Oh, definitley not that.

I could tell your fortune

Outside the circus tent,

Pass a coin over a palm

I would hold to the light.

I could, walk the high wire.

I could, get a tiger to sit.

And, I most definitley could,

Fly through the air with,

The greatest of ease.

But, I'd never ever know you.

You'd be a blip in the crowd.

Simply a smiling face,

Flashing by.

So, here I will stay, I won't go.

I won't go and join a circus,

Save maybe the one, I imagine,

Commencing, in my mind.

Join me?
