Farewell to the Ringling Bros. - 2017
The Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey
Circus will close its doors in May.
The Greatest Show on Earth has lost
Its flashy allure of yesterday.
The death-defying acrobats
Will have to seek other employment.
Exotic animal acts no longer
Are a source of great enjoyment.
The circus will fold up its tent for good.
But don't be sad; do not frown.
On January 20
A new circus is coming to town.
(1-16-17)
Circus will close its doors in May.
The Greatest Show on Earth has lost
Its flashy allure of yesterday.
The death-defying acrobats
Will have to seek other employment.
Exotic animal acts no longer
Are a source of great enjoyment.
The circus will fold up its tent for good.
But don't be sad; do not frown.
On January 20
A new circus is coming to town.
