Dawn to dusk we are on move,
life is tough, challenging to prove.
Sparse meal, paltry pay, long working hours,
this is the story of our life in Circus!
For those who crib, what they do is tough,
visit our work yard once which is enough.
To understand how harsh and dangerous is life,
yet we carry on with little strife.

Practice to perfection is our dictum,
as we sling ourselves, in ropes of peril to and from.
Curl our bodies amid fire and iron rings,
Toil with mammals, at time taking their sting!
Appeasing ourselves that life is a circus by itself,
performing the balancing act all the time by one self.
The difference is, we do within a marquee,
the rest do it through out their life, how true!
