Lion tamer, what’s your aim? Lion tamer, is it all a game? Built for the sport of the circus-going sort Who house the sad clowns with their makeup painted right side round So at last they might surrender to the pleasure of the crowd?

One of the highlights of my elementary school career was being “teacher’s helper” for Mrs. C. in 4thgrade.
