poem for nobody


by wiggly jones, "the little hippie boy"





everybody is a dancer
everybody is a clown
everybody is an elephant
when the circus comes to town

everybody is a lion
waiting to be tamed
who dances the hoochie-coochie
and then feels so ashamed

everybody is billy jones
trying to win a prize
everybody is sally smith
rolling her blue eyes

everybody is slim carter
reeling in the marks
everybody is the bearded lady
dreaming in the dark

everybody is pastor wilson
trying to close the carnival down
everybody is mrs wilson
sipping tea with a frown

don’t you remember the old days
when folks liked to have fun?
i know that i remember
but i may be the only one
