Saltimbanque
She is under the canvass canopy
big top spotlit starlet she
disco ball dew bed sequined
spinning water for wearing
rays of rental borrowed beaming
rays of rental liberate lending
She, Promethean Princess
my souvenir showgirl
Slinky shining offering
lioness princess limber lining
She maneuvers mirror ball bouncing
balance-beam tumble tossing
juggling three-sixties
acrobat arching
form fluidic fantastic finessing
She rays rental beaming borrowed
liberate lending for this morrow
She, Promethean Princess
my souvenir showgirl
She fantastic for compliment she
So mementos pose she
Side show stealing ripe revealing
captive crowds poise perfectly
She toys malleable mutable magnificent
trinkets, tightrope she toys trading
toys she toys between these rings
pleasing crowd crescsending sings
pleasing her fair so
immaculate spectaculate pleasing
She trades platinum for trinket tinsel
Saltimbanque dazzler diadem gem crowning
Crowned contortionist curvaceous
limber luminous limelight luschious
Gracious sublimest slinky surreptitious
Nimble, the natural how she carries
And I am hers for fumbling tumbling
I am hers for tumbling trophy
I am hers for such trophy tumbling
stumbling illusionist orator jester
carnival smoke blowing big top barker
My smoke and mirrors mimic inadequate
her spot sharp shine splendour spectaculate
My mirrors clumsy jitter silver
bouncing balance beam beauty
She fantastic gymnastic she
feast of feats splinter splitting spinning
radiance to rainbows refracting
Mon fleur de leis fantasy
She is under the canvass canopy
big top spotlit starlet she
