Staggering like a drunken monkey
Stuffed into purple shine
Forklifted down to the groundlings
Your screech turns to honey
Standing precarious, tottering
A wound-up rag dolly
Treacle oozing from your lips again
The crowd wanting you bad
Just one slip of the hat and bam
Elbow flies then forearm swings
You waver slightly and return
To form still no worse for wear
Your syrup sweeter and thicker
Sticks as the clockwork runs down
Your beehive intact
