at 7.55 this morning
the circus ran away to join me
there is a lion in the wardrobe
and in the pantry
the clown
goes
down
on the bareback rider
the seal in the bath is wearing my hat
and the elephants
have shat on the cat on the mat
my wife (always a dwarf at heart)
juggles naked for the ringmaster
who lashes her approvingly
i stagger out of bed
to shew the tightropewalkers
a thing or two.
