Life is a Circus (a poem)

The annoying thing about writing a poem in your notebook while sitting on the beach in your lunch break is that you then have to type it up when you get back to the office....

Life is a circus.
It has clowns that you can laugh at.
Things that will scare you.
Things that you cannot bear to watch.
Some people walk the high-wire.
Others dangle precariously.
Others still kneel at the bottom, supporting the weight of countless others above them.
Some animals get mistreated.
Some animals have the time of their lives.
People watch, and laugh.
And expect to be made to feel better.
It's colourful, and expensive, and exciting, and awful.
Life is a circus.
Enjoy it.
