I'd like to be a lion tamer: sequins and tights and silk top hats. I know I could be a lion tamer: I've always gotten along with cats. I'd have a whip, but never use it: I'd simply hold it in my hand. I'd like to be a lion tamer. If I could be a lion tamer I could be someone grand…
I couldn't be a ballerina: I never could stand on my toes. I couldn't be a Spanish dancer: I'd look ridiculous with rose.
But everyone has a special calling, something that only he can do…
I could be such a lion tamer… If I could be a lion tamer I would be special too.
I could begin with baby leopards, move on to tiger cubs an then, after I learn to handle lions maybe I could work up to men…
I never wanted fancy mansions, butlers and footmen, liver reed. I never wanted lots of money: money can't buy what you really need. I never prayed for any favors, but here I am on knobby knee…Please let me be a lion tamer. If I could be a lion tamer wouldn't he have to finally notice me?
