Sky Circus

by Clare Miseles

It’s really fun to watch the way

The animals go by—

Not in a circus on the ground,

But in the bright blue sky!

Look! There’s a snow-white elephant,

A bear, and a giraffe,

A cow that wears a tinkling bell,

Beside her a sweet calf.

And there’s a beaver and a mouse,

A doe-eyed little fawn,

A bull frog, and a curled-up cat.

Oh, now the cat is gone!

They hurry by, they leap and run,

Sometimes they even fly.

Then all that’s left for eyes to see

Are just clouds in the sky.
