I saw an add for the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus as a young kid and pestered my parents to take my sister and me. It was the most disappointing experience of my young life. Never been a circus fan since!
Two of my teens are working together on some musical compositions this summer for fun and I’m encouraging them by sending them your Substack!
I.HATE.THE.CIRCUS, too. Interestingly, I thought sone of the best sounded like the trumpeting of tired elephants entering the ring, resigned to their fate. But, yes, a depressing beat for a depressing event. 🤡

Oh my gosh, what a compliment. I’m honored.
lol - I like writing, not just math! (And clearly, I meant “beat”.)
And “some”!!!!

‘...tired elephants entering the ring, resigned to their fate...’ is very good. You should write these for me!
