Ringmaster and me -- a Weekend Poem

Félix Fénéon picture from Wikipedia 

Ringmaster Magician of my stage  
.

I keep having this feeling,

feel that my life wouldn't run

by itself.  A sensation

someone else is cracking whip  
.
Master of my destiny

director, actions--steps--thoughts

He lords me all waking hours

Sometimes it seems in my dreams  
.

Bark and growl the dog I be

Dog and pony show for kids

Pussy cat purring sweetly

Angry cousin tiger growls 
.
And eat like the horse in me

Elephant climb my stool--Sit

Monkey my funny business 
Listen to the lion's roar 
.
On flying trapeze I swing

Another clown in the car

Juggler--Magician kids love  
The fat lady ate too much 
.
Circus animals and folk 
All I am he will direct

Won't be me to pay his bill
I'm leaving with one I've been
