The Circus Song

Jim Kweskin and the Jug Band with a humorous
song of midways, Ferris Wheels, fried dough,
evil clowns, cotton candy, and elephant poop.
I left out the bearded lady…sorry Gladys!
I used to hang around a kid in high school whose
favorite phrase was “Midgets. midgets everywhere,
and not a blowgun in sight!”.
Whenever I think of the circus I think of him.

5 Ways to Bacon

I know longer eat meat of any kind but I remember
when bacon was a much sought after substance
near and dear to my cholesterol coated heart.
