It's a circus!

It's a circus!

but

in the tent

the lion-tamer
has lost his head

the cashier
turned out to be bent

the trapeze troupe
are all injured or dead

the wages
have all been spent

the plate-spinner
broke all her crockery

the fire-eater's
been cremated

the chimps
are just a mockery

the ring-master's
roundly hated

the elephants
quietly left in the night

the owner's
no longer feted

and the poor clown
is completely sh...

the clown
is no longer funny
