The Elephant in the Room

The act is getting old, and it’s just too expensive to keep it running.

It’s huge, it’s beautiful, stupendous

Some lament that it comes to an end, as

They shut the place down

And fire every clown,

The loss to its fans is tremendous.

They’ve entertained everyone gaily

Facing risk without a net daily

They outshine all others,

Those Ringling Brothers

And their circus with Barnum and Bailey
