A Peek At The Circus

The crowds were cheering,

The time was near,

The circus was due;

The time was near!

Mothers, children;

Women and men;

Paupers and kings;

There were not few!

They did all hear the news on the papers or such;

That the Great Baron was touring with his large band –

Of clowns, of lions, of contortionists, of everything else;

There were not few!
