Trusting Trapped Tease----Up There

If everything is all right 
Then there is not going to be a fight 
Thoughts from those wearing tights 
And arms showing might 
A huge net down there 
Going through the air 
Grabbing a swinging bar 
Being cool acting like a star 
Everything seems so simple 
Just smile show the dimple 
It is only a trick put on 
An illusion, an innocent con 
With feats not having a room for erring 
Entertaining audiences by scaring 
Based on trust 
No room for fuss 
It is a spectacle that is cool 
Wondering who’s a fool 
Under the big top 
Where the action never is supposed to stop 
A wild and crazy thing 
Fascinating Presidents and Kings 
Under the spot light 
No one can fight 
If done right 
Then the thrill is ‘out of sight’ 
Take this advice 
At any price 
Comradely is not throwing dice 
It is the warm trusting feeling that is nice 
Next time when requested to do a dare 
Make sure it is done not only with flair 
But enough care 
Giving a reason for the patron’s amazement stare 
Enjoying their time attending the amusement fair
