Hush!

TSL Pandorathon May 31 (Prompt given by Santosh Bakaya)

A conversation between a snake charmer and a circus manager . The latter's conversation  littered with  ",hush ,do you see what I see !

What a fantasy world

She must be living in

Where a snake charmer

And a circus manager

Have a conversation . 

Here the snakes have no charm

They have fangs full of poison

We have snake catchers, oh yes,

But snake charmers, oh no!

Here the circuses aren’t 

Allowed to have animals

On show performance 

Ethics or escapism 

Into the bush? 

I don’t know.

But where ever you are

You’re sure to hear

 “-hush ,do you see what I see !”

It could be a bush turkey,

A lyrebird, a platypus,

Or a mundane kangaroo 

It all just depends on where you stand

And how lucky you are really.

It is a fantasy world too

It you’re so inclined.
