One Couple Of Days - OBD

One couple of days, a circus travelled into town
Where fun frowning clowns, wear their smiles upside down.
There is a hairless bearded lady with soft curly brown hair
And a dancing bear who reads Learn How To Dance books, inside his lair.

There's a confident high wire walker who has a morbid fear of heights
And the ugly fat lady whose sheer beauty delights.
These acts are not lies and my nonsense story is true  
So please come visit our circus, down here at the zoo.
