The Greatest Show on Earth

You called me
and told me
it would be the
Greatest show on
Earth.
At least thats
what the tickets
said.
Please come
with me.
You pleaded.
I am so
busy
I responded.
Please,
Its the greatest
show on earth.
I know you will
enjoy yourself
so much.
I do not want you
to miss this.
You continue
selling me on this.
OK. I say.
Monday is the only
day I have available.
Perfect, you say
the tickets are for
Monday.
OK.
Monday is here.
And I have to admit
I am so excited.
The greatest show
on Earth...It has
to be good.
I meet you there.
You look so nervous
and for some reason
it makes me calm.
You look perfect.
you say.
Thanks, I respond
so do you.
You hand me the ticket.
There is a huge beautiful
tent in front of us.
You hold my hand.
We walk in together.
As we walk in the tent
we are already on the other side.
Wasn't that great,
you say.
Was that it? I think.
You look at me
as we walk away,
you say, that was the
greatest show on
earth....I am exhausted.
Did you like it?
you ask.
Aw Yeah..it was
nice..I say.
As I am driving home
I am in shock.
How is the greatest show
on earth great if its
only 2 seconds?
I did not even get to
THE.
Shaking my head,
I stop and get a
Milkshake.
That will ease my
disappointment.
Next time
I am offered tickets
to the Greatest show
on earth, I will pass.
I did not even see
the elephant...
