Dismantled Circus Quote by Kyle MacDonald
“For weeks they entertained us, diverted and detained us.But as they strip off their make-up. The big top is dismantled the circus must move on... We will remember all the Jesters the Jugglers and clowns. The tickets were expensive,but at least we had free Doughnuts while they were in Town”
