Extravaganza
Big Top Tent Giant unbrella
upside down covering the players
Circus clowns, acrobatic wonder,
trapeze artists flying o’er the
ring where elephants parade a
trainer taking the lead a
white stallion a lady riding
Cages hold tigers and lions
trainers engage death defying
acts with rings of fire blazing
coaxing them to jump all
through as with ease a bow
performance taking
Grandstands holding the audience
wide eyed staring in disbelief
eating popcorn, cotton candy,
peanuts as somesaults take place
high above their heads, below
fire burning a building a
fire hose extinguishes

As a child, I was mesmerized by the circus and its performers. You summed it up nicely ~becca

I believe the circus was the first place I ever tasted cotton candy. It was wonderful then and still is.
