Midway Down

Have you ever seen a carousel
thrown your pennies in a wishing well
eating jelly on a stick
too much will make you sick
three ring circus, trapeze artist
swinging to and fro
with no net below
tiny cars, 12 pounds of oil
isn’t that an awful silly scene
Hear the barkers calling people to the sideshow
bearded ladies, dancing babies, waving hello
ten foot giant finds it tough to lift a feather
three foot midget hopes he won’t be small forever
See the dancing bear, tigers through the air
see him jump so high, nearly touch the sky
elephants and tall giraffes, monkeys have such funny laughs
Hear the barkers calling people to the sideshow
bearded ladies, dancing babies, waving hello
ten foot giant finds it tough to lift a feather
three foot midget hopes he won’t be small forever
