The Circus
The circus is coming
All eyes are glued
To colors of orange
And red, white and blue.
The kiddies are ginning
From ear to ear
Parents are talking
With cameras and gear.
Lions and tigers
And elephants too
Funny clowns walk
And wave hello to you.
Cotton candy on a stick
Hot dogs on a bun
So much soda in my gut
But wow, I’m having fun.
Mom and dad are just the best
Taking me to this
But as they tuck me in my bed
I give a hug and kiss.
I go to sleep with a smile on my face
I dream of all I did
I never want to wake from this
I just want to remain a kid.

It is so nice to meet you Red. Our childhood memories are usually the best, as there are no pretending and innocent thoughts. Pure joy and no expectations. Thank you
