They say that in life, <br />You have to pay your dues. <br />I went and joined the circus. <br />I now shine the clown's shoes. <br /> <br />I'm the new guy here. <br />I pick up all the trash. <br />New guys don't get paid much. <br />I'm kinda short on cash. <br /> <br />When elephants do what elephants do, <br />Who do they call? They call me. <br />We don't have one big elephant; <br />Just my luck, we have three. <br /> <br />I know being in the circus <br />To most kids sounds real cool. <br />I'm just waiting for a chance <br />To run away off to school.<br /><br />Bruce Larkin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-circus-life/
