THE CIRCUS
The circus came to town
I went to see animals
I went to see performers
I went to be amazed
The circus came to town
The big clumsy elephant
Ate peanuts from folks’ hands
In between elephant mouthed smiles
The circus came to town
Tigers snarled fierce teeth
But did what they were told
Folks gasped breaths of unbelief
The circus came to town
There was cotton candy
And innocence and laughter
And baggy pants clowns too
The circus came to town
Trapeze artistes flipped and swirled
There were seats in tiers
There was no burden of cruelty
