Circus-Cease

defying death shibboleth denied breath... no more tingling brothers ringling no coins jingling baraboo now bare of cheers too!

If this is about Ringling Brothers circus - I guess the times are a-changin, but I am glad they stopped using elephants in their shows-

Yes, yes, you are right, I suppose. Circuses are certainly not the most animal-sensitive shows on earth. Nor do they employ such refined individuals, (if you've ever noticed)... and yet, the magic, the wonder for little kids of all ages... Sigh.... Thank you so much for pointing this out to an old wolf like me! :) gw

That's a comment I can really relate to...and thanks for being 'daring enough' to post it. (See soupmail for my explanation, please). Thanks again so much, Barabara! Best wishes, Gershon
