Circus
The circus is coming to town, hurray!
The circus is coming to town, today!
P. T. Barnum and Bailey, too,
They brought with them an entire zoo.
The procession paraded by the crowd,
Pink and blue elephants trumpeted loud,
Dancers, jugglers, acrobats, and clowns,
Lions, tigers, bears, and calliope sounds.
Carnival booths and amusement rides,
Lots of excitement with three rings inside,
Flying trapeze and narrow high wire,
My favorite is the ring of fire.
Fat lady, strongman, and midget side shows,
I can’t wait until Saturday to go.
Popcorn, taffy, cotton candy, and pop,
Hope I get front row seats in the Big Top.

darkerdreamerabout 17 years agoPretty good, lots of strong images. I didn't give it 100 because you missed other senses the circus evokes. Smell of the sawdust, sounds of the animals, that kind of stuff. Enjoyable read, I want to go to the circus now :P
