Love turned me into a circus monkey,
A raving, craving, fiending junkie.
Incessantly nodding, affirming yes,
Consistently giving, despite duress.

Love turned me into a puppet pauper,
A penniless, lack-luck, begging gawper.
Constantly scrounging, loose change sifter,
Tirelessly searching, dime store drifter.

Love turned me into a courtly fool,
A grinning, spinning, ignorant tool.
Happily laughing, sense unkeen,
Crudely dancing, sights unseen.

Love turned me into a circus monkey,
A raving, craving, fiending junkie.
