Poem: Showbiz.
showbiz
.
my pater had a circus act
he wrestled with a ‘gator
the thing was seven metres long
and looked a lot like mater
.
the accident was very sad
for in a drunken state
he’d thought the ‘gator was his wife
and realized too late
.
my uncle had a circus act
as bold as you could wish
he dived into a plastic tank
filled with piranha fish
.
the audience was well impressed
they cheered till they were hoarse
he only ever did it once
then he was dead – of course
.
.
