Mistaken Writers’ Cramp

Mistaken Writers’ Cramp

The Carnival came to town
One fine afternoon
Sam Adams was 12 years old
And was overjoyed
To be able to see the show.

He had fantasies
Of running away
To join the circus.

Unfortunately,
The show turned out to be
A total disaster
When the lion escaped
And went on a killing spree.

Sam Adams lost his father
To a lion attack that day
Vowed to never go again
Never again.



Only one entry today. Where is everybody?
