I want to join the circus

Just a little something to lighten the moment up.

I want to be a clown.
Making a funny frown
Seeing others laugh
As I strut like a giraffe.

I want to learn to fly
On the trapeze
High in the sky
With nothing but ease.

I want to ride the elephants
Rub their funny ears
Tickle their tummies
Play with them for years.

I want to meet the many characters
All around living in the circus tents
To shake their hands and talk
As we discuss all the coming events.

I want to live like an entertainer
Living high on the wire with all
Height would never bother me
That is if I don't have a great big fall!

I want to join the circus
make friends with all around
Laugh as we trade stories
Of the fun times in every town.

I want to be an entertainer
Making others all around me smile
As I dance and sing
And make them forget their troubles for awhile.

I want to be on the big screen
See my picture as big as lights
Shinning down on all
Oh my what a friggen sight!

Hear my voice singing through a radio
The music so loud and clear
As I sing songs from the oldies
That came out yesteryear.

Yup,
I want to be in the circus
Entertaining each and everyone
Dancing and singing
To 'Annie's got her gun'.

Oh my, just think of it...

Just the thought would be such fun...

Wonderful poem full of energy , fun and action this is a happy poem Me Gumba somehow this strikes mes as something that is sometimes more appropraite than Amour or depression poems I guess it depends on one's mood however I repeat LOSE THE MUSIC! It doesn't add anything it just distracts the reader

okay, so I felt guilty not reviewing this one. It certainly does lighten the moment and has a way of making you smile without actually realising...in fact you get to the last line and feel this spreading strangeness across your lips, you suddenly realise you're in the moment and enjoying every bit of it. Takes a good talent to get the readers deeply involved so that they're not even aware they are even smiling, so well done.
