Annoyed Carnival Girl
If you insist on wearing a merry-go-round on your head
At least try to act casual about it said Ringmaster Jed.
He was speaking to Carnival girl, his oldest daughter.
Who normally did nothing that she “ought”-er.
She tried her best to act nonchalant.
But then they had her balance on an elephant.
Come on! She said. Why is it always me?
You’re our only daughter, said her mother Lee.
