The Circus
He quoted, “Mum, I’ve had enough.
So I’m going to go play with the lions.”
I on the other hand would rather believe he ran away to be a star…
Sometime I was the only one who knew how caged up he had been.
It made since that he had wanted to be in the spotlight.
They said my cousin ran away with the circus.
What fun! To see all the beautiful colors and the elegance and challenge of the fine acrobats….
My mum once said,
“It’s all just one big happy freak show.
Only one out of their right mind would want to join the circus.”
I applauded my cousin.
It was about time, someone was smart enough to leave this bland of a town…
Too many lawyers,
Too many police…
Too much gossip,
Others go to their bed,
While some may not sleep.
My cousin ran away with the circus�
How I wish I had his heart!
His courage to follow a wild and crazy dream!
My mum said,
“Now don’t you be thinking anything weird!
You certainly don’t want to grow up to be like your cousin!”
So I thought to myself,
No, I certainly don’t.
Last night, I ran away to be with the gypsies.
They all say my cousin is back from the circus.
I hear he was a star.
