Sam Hookey

 I ran away from home with the circus,
Having fallen in love with Mademoiselle Estralada,
The lion tamer.

One time, having starved the lions
For more than a day,
I entered the cage and began to beat Brutus
And Leo and Gypsy.

Whereupon Brutus sprang upon me,
And killed me.

On entering these regions
I met a shadow who cursed me,
And said it served me right.

It was Robespierre!
