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
