Circus

by Lexi Hilife - Leo

there were mamas with babies on their hips
small youngins in tow

ol' farmer daddies
frowns on their faces
didn't really want to go
you could smell popcorn
cotton candy too sugar sweet

the ol boys in their bibs could hardly wait
after a long day of drivin' the tractor
till their kidneys sorely ached
backs felt like they was gonna break
shooin' cattle through the mud slopped gate

when all interested eyes were fixed                    they itched  like a dog with fleas 
a scratch they just had to itch 
then they could sneak outside the tent

when the all the lights went dim 
suddenly the call of nature
off they went to hang out with their moonshine
behind the tent

out came the dice.... it was on
narely one wife noticed they was gone

every now and then passed a female
a sparkle here a sparkle there
every farm boy all google-eyed

couldn't help but stare

then the entertainment died
intermission had arrived
like a swarm of angry bees

translation: Wives Woowee
no more moonshine now soakin' the ground
dice tossed in the breeze all around

come mornin' knuckle heads everywhere
here comes mama with a rollin' pin (BEWARE)   Lexi Hilife
