My Circus Life
They say that in life, You have to pay your dues. I went and joined the circus. I now shine the clown’s shoes. I’m the new guy here. I pick up all the trash. New guys don’t get paid much.

They say an upset ostrich Will stick its head in the ground. That’s no way to fix a problem. It’s not how solutions are found. When something’s not going right And you wonder if life is fair, Sticking your head in the ground Will just get dirt in your hair. Bruce Larkin Click Here To See More Poems

A Home in the Zoo
The bird flitted from place to place. She had something she had to do. Her task was very important; She wanted to live in the zoo. Crocs are often hungry, The bird had been told.
