She is the one woman circus.
Watch her astound and impress
all the guests, husband, children,
costumed in a simple blue dress.
Let her bedazzle and thrill you,
equipped with a pot and pan,
boiling water on stovetop,
a spatula gripped in one hand,
Gliding from cupboard to cupboard,
her youngest teetering on hip,
she pours out the oatmeal,
serves tea without even a drip.
Close your eyes, you faint-hearted.
This is not for the dainty.
Now watch close and marvel
how she wipes her kid’s nose with a hanky.
If you found that amazing,
watch her next incredible feat.
She will build you a grand fortress
using only clothespins and sheets.
But that is not all
that is up this Star’s sleeve.
See how she piles all three of her tikes
into her towering Ford SUV.
I don’t know about you,
but I don’t know if I’ve witnessed
such brilliance, perfection,
or absolute greatness.
It is hard to imagine
all of this talent could fit
into one little body.
But somehow, she’s done it.
Let's give her a hand.
Give her two. How about three?
Especially you little girls
who’ll find the Big Top to be
Your ever so thrilling,
inevitable destiny.
