Come see the burning circus, kids!
Watch it shimmer and roar!
The flames will dance so merrily
and the crowds will shout for more.
You'll be entranced. Your little eyes
will melt right from their sockets
while the clowns crawl underneath you
and empty out your pockets.
You'll clap your ashen hands together
when you see us start the show.
Come see the burning circus!
And let your spirit go!
This one kind of just snuck up on me. I had a little daydream about a burning circus tent but the people were paying to get inside and even though they were burning alive they reveled in the show.

Another entry for NaPoWriMo.

Sounds like a great last show to see before you die. Though the clowns are a bit creepy.
