Under The Big Top Rime Couee

 A night out with cotton candy 
can leave children feeling randy,
wearing gluttonous grins. 
Colorful contortionist will twist 
that is an act not to be missed,
just watch how his leg spins. 

The saddest clowns tossing a ball 
await a harsh howl to befall,
happiness in surplus.
Regal headmaster center ring
making a little noise chanting,
a classical circus.

An acrobat walking a wire 
perfect balance built to inspire,
delicately seems hooked. 
With the score a willing backdrop 
for the stars under the big top,
oh how easy it looked.
