Circus Wars

Lo!

The ‘great’ war

between the two

circus companies was

about to commence.

***

The Ringmaster called for

the clowns,

he called for the geeks,

he called for

the flying elephants

and the ferocious lions.

***

“Suit up and arm ye-selves,” he cried. “We’ll teach those second-rate interlopers!”

***

Across the river, the

other circus was fast asleep.

***

Cried the Ringmaster,

“Bison Bob’s Wild West Vaudeville & Indian War Battle Reenactment Show,

will rue the day they 

ever heard the name,

Col. Beauregard ‘s Famous Flying Traveling Circus & Side Show-Supreme of 1873!

***

The strongman wheeled out

the mighty circus cannon,

and aimed it at the rival circus.

***

A hush fell over the circus folk.

And then,

said the ringmaster,

“Fire!”

***

Boom went the cannon!

***

“Aaaaaghhhhhhhhhhh!” cried the human cannonball.
