The Juggler

by Luna

To Mickey, with love.

With sleepy eyes, I lay me down
to fantasies of times gone by.
Within my dream appeared a clown,
a smile replaced my daytime cry.

While juggling balls with seeming ease
the circus man began to sneeze;
his spheres all fell down to the floor,
and I awoke in bed once more!
