America's Next Big Top Reality Show

And so we auditioned for America’s Next Big Top Reality show, the gorilla, the penguin eating Fruit Loops and a bunch of sad clowns with no make -up.
Of course I could have wondered into Congress by mistake.

A Ryan Seacrest lookalike was the host.
The penguins were up first and ate a bowl of Fruit Loops. They were voted off the show before it began by a sober Paula Abdul.. I know this is where my story loses all credibility, but trust me I was there it really happened..

Anyway I digress.. the gorilla auditioned next and all the celebrity Big Top judges andvaced the Gorilla to the finals.
Perhaps the look the gorilla threw their way swayed them.. but that could be me being jealous of the talented gorilla.

My turn finally came and I auditioned with gusto. Gusto was my pint sized dwarfish side kick ..in drag. Gusto works cheap so beggars can’t be choosers. Anyway I juggled penguins.. hey they needed jobs.

I was booed.. is that even a word?

Well their loss .. so it was off to Wash D.C to witness history.
