The Cirque de Freak

Oh, Chuckle I
at this masquerade bazaar
How the circus shines
and how the laughter stretches far

Giggle at a jesters folly
as He tumbles and trips
over his twisting tongue
so silly the flips

She wobbles at her dance
The dainty gypsy
she spins on her little plastic toes
but seems a bit too tipsy

How odd is he, a sheer sight to see!
The Serpent they call the freak...
Half man, half snake
with a bright yellow beak!

those stranglings! I watch as they toil
Wearing their faces
the show must go on
Each in their places!

I laugh as I stand at the ready
from my own barred box
Just the infamous juggler
with the un-matching socks
