The New Three Ring Circus

There’s a new circus in town. It is the new Dingling Brothers, Farnham and O’Malley Circus. All is new! Come see the three man acrobatic act. No membership fees required. All are welcome –except the Gauls and the United Nations. Ring-side seats available without Security Council approval.

See John Bull in the ring with the Spanish matador. The Bull does not die in the end. See Buffalo George and his six-shooting Texas Rangers –only the villain Saddam dies. See the Spanish conquistador do a flamenco dance on the rock of Gibraltar. See the Prime Minister of Britain, Blairing music without a trumpet. See the Texas Ranger’s Cheer leaders sing, “Behind the Mulberry Bush.” No, we don’t serve French Fries, French Toast or French Kisses. From now on, it will only be Texas BBQ sandwiches, Fish and Chips and Empanadas.

Dame Vera Lynn will entertain with ‘White Cliffs of Dover, “ “Wish Me Luck,” and “There’ll always be an England.” Willie Nelson will sing “God Bless America,” “Home on the Texas Range,” and “Adios Amigos.” Julio Iglesias will sing, “Yellow Rose of Texas,” “South of the Border” and the “Peanut Vendor”. Father George Bush Sr. will sing, “Twelve Long Years,” “Bring Back the Oil” and “Happy Days are Here Again.” Clint Eastwood will sing, “Shoot Up Baghdad,” “Get the Butcher” and “Home on the Range”. No complementary tickets for Jean Chretien and Vicente Fox. Adios Amigos.
