Life's Just A Circus

Life's Just A Circus

A Poem by Tom Friel

There's joke's everywhere
on this Saturday night,
in this dive of a bar
where the boys like to fight.

 

Ol' Bozo the Boozer
was back in his chair,
performing his tricks
as if someone cared.

 

Life’s just a circus,
the joke’s everywhere.
The boys gather 'round
near the clown with grey hair.

 

"Where’s Blinko?"
"Where’s Clarabell?"
"Where’s Cookie, where's Emmett?"

 

"Your circus
is gone old man,
you’re the only one in it."

 

The taunts never stop
for the clown born to lose.
The jokes have run dry,
the laughs are past due.
