Trapeze People

Trapeze artists wear two condoms at a time When performing at great heights You can never have too much protection Jumping on thin lines from way up high Flying in all directions with blindfolds on Smoke cigarettes but don't play with matches Leave dangerous acts to the professionals Lead metal wings add to the attraction Gravity is such a wondrous thing Concrete nets are used to save on cost The show must go on and so must they The ground is calling The crowds applauding The baby is screaming so shut it up Someone stuff a pacifier in its mouth Trapeze people are fun to watch Their feet never touch the ground Thin lines between reality are stretched God bless them everyone When they come down

Hi W.A. Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. In all honesty I don't know any trapeze people. My neck hurts when I make the effort to look up too much but I do look up to them at a distance with respect when I can. Have a great day. Earl
