Welcome To the Circus

Life is a three-ring circus Thrice around and around The jolly merry-go-round Fun the ultimate purpose Mesmerized at this and that Laughter for every age Exotic animals in a cage Used to being stared at Rides speeding up and down Through hoops and loops Joining dancing troupes Circumventing any sad frown Lining up sideshow freaks Presenting a two-headed man Sexy dancers doing the cancan A bearded lady that wreaks As he flaunts treacherous highwire act Ringmaster shows off painted elephants Clowns making fun of fake elegance Big top forever designed to attract Submitted on March 18, 2019 for contest BRING ON THE DANCING BEARS sponsored by JOHN LAWLESS

Wonderful flowing poem that takes me on a ride, far away from the bearded lady I hope!

I wish I had done my poem funny like yours. No comparison, Timothy. Thank you so much for your most appreciated visit and comment.

"Fun the ultimate purpose". I do believe you are correct and in honor of this poem, I am having lunch today with seven close friends. We will be a three-ring circus before the end of it!
