J. Summers Poet Rhyme

When the Circus Comes To Town

All the kids will sure be running
From every part of town
With laughs and shouts aplenty
When the circus comes to town.

A marching band will hit the streets, 
The calliope will sound.
Everyone will hear it
When the circus comes to town.

There’ll be elephants and lions
With acrobats and clowns,
Lots of fun for everyone
When the circus comes to town.

Large bales of cotton candy
And peanuts by the pound,
Corn dogs on a wooden stick
When the circus comes to town.

Oh Mama, is it bed-time yet?
Please turn my covers down.
I want to wake up early
When the circus comes to town.

Richard Lamoureux March 7, 2021 at 7:33 AM A fun one. I was more of a Fare guy myself, loved the tilt a whirl and other fun rides. J. Summers March 8, 2021 at 1:34 PM Nothing as fun as a good county or state fair. John
