#221 Juggling for a Living


Flying up in the air
Weightless for a second or less
Most things don't notice
Other things can make a mess

The kittens I was juggling
For that kids birthday party
Two out of the three
Totally peed on me

The eggs were another thing
I was going for a record
Three, four, five, six and more
I thought I had it licked
But then there was yolk on the floor

Hatchets
Those were a mistake
I can admit that now
Let me count the ways
I can only get to eight
As that's all the fingers I have these days

One of the hardest things I juggled
Was women
There was this time I was dating three
Not one knew the other
Until I mixed up their valentines
Suddenly I was dating nobody
And I got beat up by one's brother

Juggling can be a challenge
It's true
And as long as I keep doing it
I'll keep pushing it
Finding new and unusual things
To throw up in the air
One after the other
As long as I can

Until I can't
