Silly clowns climbing poles
Performing many antics
Falling headfirst into holes
Swinging ’round
Upside down on shaky, shaky sticks
Tightrope walkers walking ‘cross the string
You might never know
What they bring
To the show: chairs, bears, small shoes, big shoes, even an umbrella!
Watch the trapeze
Fly so high
Should you let go? NO, NO, NO
Or you’ll fall DOWN, DOWN, DOWN
Onto the guy with the coat and tie!
Tigers are here
Not too near
Otherwise they’ll eat me!
Little dogs
Running around
Showing what they know
Down, Down, Down they slide
To the ground below
The circus is the only place
To find all these things.
Going to the circus is wonderful
Hope you come again!

What a wonderful poem – I almost felt like I was right at the circus, too
My favorite part: “should you let go? NO NO NO”! Great job!
