The circus is in town

 

If you elect clowns, you get the circus
But this isn’t any ordinary circus
The clowns were not invited
For they crashed the party

Their jokes are lame
Their tricks are stale

None are impressed
The kids are terrified
The adults are mortified

The circus has come to town

But there are no lions or tigers
Only frogs jumping here and there

There are no trapeze artists
Only chimpanzees swinging around

There are no elephants or dancing bears
Only bobbleheads nodding incessantly

The musicians have stopped playing
Replaced by rappers who cannot rhyme

The ringmaster has gone AWOL
Leaving the juggler on the tightrope in charge
With a scratch of fleas to do his bidding

But the town is waiting
To see what would happen
When the fleas start biting
