Grab the Brass Ring

They come and go, life's ups and downs Keep your head above water, try not to drown It's a beautiful adventure Grab the brass ring and remember With it's joys and pitfalls, it's the only show in town

I once grabbed a brass ring//attached to a very big thing//A lot of bull//gave me a pull//and an over-his-shoulders fling. RODEO ON BARNUM/BAILEY JACK!!!

I have to admit that sometimes the show that is before me is not what is attractive, all but my wife...She is always attractive (even when she just wakes up...in fact I really like that!)! I do try to do my best with the ups and downs, they all have their place in my life, and the challenges of the downs is eclipsed by the wonders of the ups! You have written a wonderful write here my friend! What a glorious piece...such a grand poem...so full of intrigue and feelings of life itself! Great Work!!
