Did you see the latest circus?
That royal death,
Or that famous marriage,
Or some such elite scandal,
Oh they had money,
So you must have,
The elite are putting on a show,
The circus is in town,
On the screen and radio,
The interviewers dive between bodies,
Like stuntmen on a tightrope,
Do you see those paparazzi on the trapeze,
Trying to get a good shot of our stars?
The crowds baying in sycophantic fervour,
They’re looked down on like a travelling freakshow,
The serfs always need to see their betters,
The circus is in town,
On the screen and radio,
These clowns on the red carpet,
In gaudy suits and frumpy dresses,
Blockaded by hi-vis knights,
They’re not really too funny,
Selfies are hardly comedy,
But the media eats it up,
You see,
Celebrity is the greatest pageant,
The circus is in town,
On the screen and radio.

I like the imagery and analogy of “the circus”
My favorite lines:
“Like stuntmen on a tightrope,
Do you see those paparazzi on the trapeze,
Trying to get a good shot of our stars”
– Awesome!
Thank you very much my friend! I’m happy you enjoyed it.
