The Circus

CIRCUS

Carousel horses and men made of tin.

A braided hair girl with a lopsided grin.

The shape of a rabbit shadows a wall.

A thin man on stilts that is going to fall.

Music abounding, magic too spare.

A gilded butterfly too wear in my hair.

A heart shaped mouth on little red cat.

A beautiful wink from a man in a hat.

"Come one, Come All" is what he says.

Then kisses my cheek and the music it plays

He is ringmaster, This is his place.

All this he gives for a smiling face.

He'll gives me a candle to hold in the night.

"Thank you!" I say and he fades from my sight
