incessant vendors hawk their wares
popcorn, peanuts sold to you
ferocious beast tamed with chair
fortune teller leaves you blue
flirtatious girl on painted pony
promises to thrill, all plunder
not much real here, all is phony
trapeze artists paint by number
high wire acts above a net
flying past the bears and seals
photographs to catch the moment
ten dollar dogs to seal the deal
******* up shoes of circus clowns
magician shows his sleight of hand
children smile at painted frowns
the ringmaster this band commands
big top wonder, smoke and mirrors
he beckons crowds to catch the scent
*“oh young at heart, come gather here
to find the truth within my tent”*
