That's S-O-L-G-O-D sounds. Soul Good Sounds rest well. The circus procession by author unknown. Open the gates and draw the curtain. Here comes something fine that's certain. Louder the band begins to play, open the gates and clear the way. Enter the queen with a king beside her. Every horse is proud of his rider. Two by two, they march to the tune
and head the procession that will follow soon. Men and livery in their places make the gay steeds keep their faces, soothing down their wildest fears at the rising shouts and cheers. Jocco in these sports of share acts the part of a standard bearer. While behind him soldiers gay, Mughal notes of victory play. Now a clown in line appearing with a tandem swells the cheering, standing on his horses back. Thus he guides them round the track. On a donkey rides another quiet as funny as his brother. Blowing bugle notes so loud, he astonishes the crowd. Here's another clown arriving. In a chariot he is driving, like a noble Roman dress. Lowly guides, three steeds abreast. Nimble little monkey Tony rides along upon a pony followed by a stupid clown, who thinks the rain is pouring down. Here's a creature young and slender dressed in robes of dazzling splendor. In a chariot decked with gold, she's the fairy queen
I'm told. Close behind her two enormous elephants, first-ranked performers, stalk along with heavy tread, sending on their trunks ahead. Here is something very funny, surely worth the entrance money at the site, what laughter peels? Tis an elephant on wheels. Close behind him a relation in a state of perspiration. Don his specks and wheels his fan, just like any gentle man. Here's jumbo gentle creature, kindness shown in every feature. On his back, the children are safe as in a jaunting car. Shetland pony, small and stocky, each one mounted by a jockey. March, twist elephants and giraffe. Tis no wondertows or laughs. Hark the trumpet, loudly peeling, knocks the plaster from the ceiling. As there marches on the course, the jumbo's of the police force. Clowns and dogs with queer expression have their place in this procession and Tis hard for dogs I know. On their two hind legs to go. Who are these with courtly manners,
bearing lofty poles and banners? Faithfully they represent followers of the tournament. Next line of pretty pages are attention close engages. The Chinese giant in the rear, making them like dwarfs appear. Here's a funny turnout, surely, with an ostrich, last securely, to a coach, Zinobia shares, and well the bird, the burden bears. Goats upon the mountains ramble and in harness sometimes ambled. But a tandem team like this is a sight you should not miss. Through the deserts, camels travel, speeding are of the sand and gravel, bearing heavy burdens too, which in our land they could not do. Here the roads are rough and stony and the camels back so bony, none but clowns were dare to go, on them with the circus show. Goodness gracious, did you ever? Here are harness up quite clever. Two giraffes, the whip they heed, nor venture at a breakneck speed. A soldier comes on still tee stalking back of him, a dude is walking, either side of him, a friend, as you can see, and that's the end.
