Circus

Life is a circus

Some would say

Does that mean a dull grind

day after day

Or a series of adventures

With new skills to learn

Maybe with some stress

to grin and burn

Life is a circus

Some would say

Populated with clowns

sinister or cliché

But how about the strongman

Or the lion tamer

In a circus there are

many entertainers

If life is a circus

What do we see

What does it mean

for you and me?
