The Sheila Wowed Me

Most beautiful creature I had ever seen More gorgeous than ebony pumas or wild wolves I was fascinated, and intimidated; she was the Sheila. There was danger in knowing her. She was the ultimate circus star; a performer. An artesian, her traveling RV was full of hand painted beauty. The Sheila would have travelled easily in a gypsy wagon, except the circus manager would not tolerate it. I think they used to be married. She was Bohemian, confident, a woman of truth. Her beauty astounded and confounded us. The Sheila could do every job in the circus, and she did. She tamed the lions and sometimes swung from a trapeze. She was stunning; mysterious and beautiful. It was more than enough to wow me.

I think I have seen women like her when I've visited a carnival. They work very, very hard I think, and life is very tough on the road.
