Eye of the tiger
nose of the elephant;
the whole thing is just a circus,
and I the 17th clown out of the car
with pockets full of balloons in wait
and shoes too big to crawl out of the looking glass
you threw me through
when the show began 24 hours ago
only to close now,
though surely not forever more.
But no more now.
Show’s over.
Sleep calls.
any louder and I’ll never
get there.
So there you go,
and I go.
The end.
Well done!! Love the fun connection with the song to the contest! Congrats! You did it!
Thanks.
Haven’t actually read any of my own or any of anyone else’s yet. Sort of in awe of those of you who wrote and read throughout!
Cool! Would be great in a book of us “80s Kids”. It sounds like you may be one of us!
Thanks.
I LOVE the idea of putting together a book of us “80s Kids” or even 70s… are we the kids of the decade in which we were born? we went to elementary school? high school? If you have something in the works, or want to, let’s be in touch!
