Tightrope Walk - Emily Elbert

Tightrope walk*

Tiptoe so delicately

Think and talk

All simultaneously

Got to say what you mean in the most polite of ways

Balance beam

You’ve got charisma and you’re so p.

c

Ought to be on television

Colgate whites probably glow when you turn out the lights

But how many pins can you juggle ‘fore they all come crashing down?

That mind must get awfully muddled with so many voices spinning round

Got to say what you mean in the most polite of ways
