Showman

To great applause, I walk the rope - I’ll stay upon my feet, I hope; I look below and see no net - And smile (although my brow is wet). I juggle, dance and skip, recalling painful falls; Then ride a bike and sing My Way…to great applause. On the trapeze, I seem to fly, The ground beneath me whooshes by, I catch my partner by her feet, Perspiring madly with the heat, I somersault and spin - the effort makes me wheeze; The show is done, I take a bow…on the trapeze.
