She was called the Lyin’ Tamer.
Absurdity would enflame her.

Since she worked with beasts, who could blame her

So I’ve had enough.
I’m done being a ly’in tamer!”...

don't look at me with my eyes
i seem to lose the power of speech
I'll look at you with your eyes
then we'll see if you're out of reach
if you'll ever feel at all

he had a broken back
she smiled with his lips
he danced with her legs
no begginigs no ends
love mends
wish she was here
wish I was there

Rugged good looks made him no shamer.
	Alone, he wore a pink rose
	and a gold ring through his nose.
His close friends knew him as a flamer....

The deer tamer came in the shape of a gnome.
He lived in a house in the valley of Rome.
Not the Italy Rome, but the whimsical valley.
Where he raised deer up right, along with his wife, bright Sally....

She closed the gap
before i could even react
she is light and soluble
peeked my soul
without causing trouble

her eyes are so kind
even the beasts melt
she gave me this feeling
i have never felt...

Be it cage or court
A tamer is needed soon
Mom out of money 

The crooked lawyer
More fierce than a Lions whip
Fearless Judge needed

To rid politics
Must decide in child's behalf
Who gets the short stick?...

Oooh I am so totally frightened now said Lion Number One.
Lion Tamer Cray-cray looks stupid; this will be much fun!

They lay on the floor of the circus laughing, annoying Cray-Cray too....

Given an impossible task to vigorously chase

Based on something nobody else wanted to face

With no support expectations were delivered coldly

Blindly thrown into the thick of things to navigate boldly

I’m the one who manhandled the lion down a back staircase

some eyes cover rather than uncover
let my eyelids be your half-moon
you can pluck my eyelashes one by one
weave yourself a pair of forever caring wings
and i know with them you'll fly to him
matters of the unconditional moon
 and what's to hurt soon 

Tamer Hossam...

what's a thorn without a rose 
what's a bleeding without feelings 
real darkness is where no light can shine 
intact to keep the light in 
cracked to let the light in 
equilibrium and wisdom 
even the fairest scales must rock first 
a suicide voice can never be the choice 
Tamer Hossam...

I create beauty while I support
 everyone and me...
I am universal and 
cosmopolitan being
my own owner...
I love humanity
and I love life...
I am a tamer of my
inner beast and peacemaker
of this bellicose world.
Advisor of what
nothing conceive... but
my magic, is
 write poetry... !...

A young lady named Betty Young
Had trouble controlling her tongue
Whenever she spoke
Attempting a joke 
She used nasty zingers that stung

A helpful friend gave her advice
“Before you say something, think twice
Reject what is acid
And choose what is placid
And stick to a tone that is nice.”...

There once was a lion tamer named Claude

   For twenty years the cheering hordes he'd awed

      He had been bitten and mauled

         But the mad crowds he enthralled

            Alas, Claude met his doom when he was clawed!

smile
... and in a while you'll smile for being just able to smile
... and the smile will remain and it's reason will secretly change
... till its time for our scars to glow
... signs of a lesson learnt and a lesser hurt
... smile it soothes the heart and mocks the enemy "you're not that smart"

Arc light blazed
circus arena
clown turns 
tiger tamer
timidity painted 
bold façade
and now for something
completely different
in a new show
a black sheep
on the trapeze
courage convoluted
life malleable.

There once was a lion Tamer named Mead
He taught his lions to cook and to read.
Taught them to bake
Broil their steak
And grow vegetable garden from seed

One took him to court on a Tuesday
Because he forgot to teach him to pray
So he sold them
To old guy named Jim
Now raising ignorant donkeys that bray...

I am a giraffe tamer she bragged.
We laughed, knowing they rarely need taming.
I can beat you at any game or sport she said.
That’s when I lied and said I am never gaming.

I am an antelope rider, she told me.
I decided to stay away from her after that day.
She was stuck up and braggadocio
In every wrong kind of way....

When the circus was in Yorkshire recently
a local man watching a rehearsal of
a scantily dressed, large bosom blond lion tamer,
inside the cage with a massive male lion,
was asked
“Would you do that” By a passing circus hand.
“Yes” Replied the local,
“Get the lion out”!
