Best Poem Of Clarence Michael James Stanislaus Dennis
The Circus
Hey, there! Hoop-la! the circus is in town!
Have you seen the elephant? Have you seen the clown?
Have you seen the dappled horse gallop round the ring?
Have you seen the acrobats on the dizzy swing?

The lad upon the ladder and the india-rubber man.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Here's the circus troupe!
