    ISN'T THERE A CIRCUS COMING TO TOWN ?

    UPA PICTURE CHALLENGE ~ ISN'T THERE A CIRCUS COMING TO TOWN ?
    Hey everyone .. what's up ?
    My name is Clyde
    This here's my new girl Lula
    We used to live at the zoo
    Until they mistreated us

    We've been on the run
    For a week and a half
    They were force feeding Lula
    An experimental project .. they said
    Can't you see she has turned ill .. white ?

    I was scheduled next
    Lula hyped up .. grasped me
    Led me to our friend .. the giraffe
    We bounded up her neck
    Over the fence and gone

    Presently we're homeless in the free world
    Can't find a job to save our lives
    For only a few bananas a day
    We'll work real cheap
    Making people laugh

    I'll jump through hoops of fire
    Ride motor bikes
    Lula will spin delicately balanced umbrellas
    Whilst dancing on an elephant's back
    C'mon, give us a break
    Isn't there a circus coming to town ?

    A delightful metaphor for a larger problem facing us without an obvious solution. Excellent!

    Thank you BrielleC! I think the pool is helping me since it's helping keep me cool from the hot weather. SBear

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
