Exactly because clowns aren’t funny and because I didn’t realize that I myself (nor my parents!) would never be able to twist my body in such awkward positions, pet wild tigers or juggle twelve burning torches. I only started to indulge in romantic fantasies of joining a circus by the time that I was ‘too old for the circus’.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05935543648023029783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341308729189935273.post-43078840171829485772010-03-31T12:01:37.111-04:002010-03-31T12:01:37.111-04:00I.LOVE.THE.CIRCUS.

Perhaps when it comes through next, I will go... I think I would be in awe as well! At least someone enjoyed the show... And there's nothing wrong with being a cheap audience.
