The circus
Decisions made by mad clowns
Harlequins’ rules indecisive
The circus union dances around rings of ridiculous
Followers led to the main tent
Sheep led across Irrational’s border
Find roots in the country of Ludicrous
The ring master quits in disgust
His top hat falls to the dust
His exit precipitous
Rules and regulations meant to end in results
The end results absurd
The silent mimes laugh out loud
Silent laughter mimicked
Sound never heard becomes common
The audience greatly amused in confusion
The audience thrives in ignorance
New ideas preposterous
Living in trailers built of hope and wonder
Tattered pavilions house old conventions
Striped houses contain old teachers
Nothing new to teach
Ancient conventions still rule
Change a new act
New dances not welcome
Old dancers will not admit need for cane
The clowns will always be the last to die
A clown’s death celebrated
Newborn wails in frustration
Anticipation reborn
