An Embarrassment Of Freaks Poem by Patti Masterman

An Embarrassment Of Freaks

Rating: 3.5


An embarrassment of freaks
Went to the circus
While a school of penguins
Danced round the ring
A habitude of nuns
Ran out to greet them
And then the whole world
Started to sing.

They sang about taxis
And failed prophylaxis
And cats in a frolic
And dogs pulling sleds
They sang for their supper
They rang for their tea
Then went out for a dip
In the Long Island sea.

That is a roar, a full blown belly buster of a poem. Very clever indeed.
