It Is Not My Circus

I’m not a magician,

so there’s no magic

happening.

I’m not a mind reader,

so I don’t know what

you’re thinking.

I’m not a juggler,

so I can only take care of

one thing at a time.

I’m not a Ring Master,

so I’ve no control over

what you do or say.

I’m not a lion tamer,

so I can’t tame your wildness

or disobedience with a whip.

I’m no trapeze artist,

so I won’t be walking a

narrow line with you.

I’m not a Calliope player,

so there’s no jaunty song

while you perform.

I’m no elephant,

because, well, I’m

not an elephant.

I am a clown however,

and I’ll make you laugh,

and smash a pie in your face.

Don’t you love the Circus?
