The Circus Show

The circus has come there are clowns and bears,

Jo takes a seat in the stalls with the crowd,

There are acrobats and lions roar loud.

A colourful display in front, she stares,

The lion-tamer at the lion glares.

The lion receives orders, looking proud,

Dangerous animals are here allowed,

They seem tame and are instructed in pairs.

The jugglers are an impressive show,

Jo examines the jugglers for flaws,

Much control over many balls they throw.

Then a bear begins dancing on its paws

To music.  It's in rhythm, fast and slow.

Rapturous applause, the crowd's in guffaws.
