\startMPcode
path p ; p := reverse halfcircle scaled (5cm + 0.5LineHeight);
path q ; q := reverse halfcircle rotatedaround (origin, 180)
scaled (5cm +1.3LineHeight);
draw fullcircle scaled 5cm;;
draw followtext(p, "\strut just follow the tokens\enspace") ;
draw followtext(reverse q, "\strut just follow the
tokens\enspace") ;
\stopMPcode
