Look At That Look At That

Look at that! Look at that! Look at that! We were in the nose bleed section. I was busy watching the beauty on the trapeze. Not caring about the rings at all. My classmates were insanely bossy Wanting everyone to look at the same thing I was beyond annoyed. Wanting to watch the acrobat forever We had cotton candy afterwards No one could get out of the teacher’s line We filed past elephants who were pooping. I could have gone without seeing that But everyone was screaming “look at that!” The next time I go to the circus, it will be alone. I will watch what I want to watch, and it will not be the elephants. You can count on that.

Oh my. I have to say, that my favorite is the magic horses. They ride and ride...the ladies dance on their backs and crazy people sing while they watch. Yet, I agree, the dance continues high in the air. Not to be missed for even a beat. We could go...and I would try to be quiet, yet it would be...hard... "look at that"...oh my I did it and we are not yet there at all. Hugs. Ann

Well, they have taken elephants out of the circus now (and I am for that, completely!) but it is true, it does not feel the same..
