Monkey Circus 2023

Enterprising monkeys bought six tents in all.
We formed a circus, they all would call.
Tried to peek up under the tents of course.
Were chased off by a cow, pig and a horse.

You’ve met our security team! They are all right!
Monkey smiled so hard, his teeth looked overly white.
We have tricks you have never seen before, he said.
Their prices were outrageous, over my head.

We forked over the cash, went inside to have a look.
Tired lion was yawning, his proximity had me kind of shook.
If he takes a giant leap he will be in my lap! I said.
I could mmediately be declared dead.

Didn’t stay for the show, wanted our money back.
It’s not that kind of a circus said ringmaster, Mack.
Does anyone stay? I had a valid reaction.
They usually get chased out, so you should have some satisfaction.
