Good Thing He Skipped School That Day

Do you want to join the circus? Yes, my crazy Uncle Jerry said. So he was put to work, good thing he skipped school that day, huh? The next day he was joined by his best neighborhood pals - Tom, Dick and Ted. They had a blast learning to put up circus tents and paint signs red. My mean old grandparents would not let him go on the road to the next town. He could have been a high wire choreographer, ringmaster or alligator maid. A parade marshal, acrobat or cotton candy vendor, all around. His parents had trouble forcing him to return to boring sixth grade.
