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.
