AN AMERICAN IMMORTAL Elephants pace and ponies prance- P. T. Barnum brings Romance. Cymbals clash and trombones blow- The stallions romp with the vans in tow, The huge red vans with scrolls of gold, And the snarling beasts that the cages hold, Lions, tigers, leopards, bears, Barnum drugs from jungle Icirs; The tall giraffe of mottled hide And the camels march with shambling stride. Look at the zebra team of six! The big bass drum makes a rousing din, The tents are wide, the crowds roll in; Round and round goes the grand parade, The nets are stretched, the mats are laid For acrobats who risk their lives in breathless swings and during dives; The chariots race, the vaulter vauits, The painted clowns throw somersuults. The stem ringmaster's whiplash cracks, The ladies stand on the horsesi bucks And gallop round and never tire But leap through hoops of flaming fire, While, like a prince in his palace hall, P. T. Barnum welcomes all, Lord of the Greatest Show On Earth Giving the world its money's worth. lsee him still at his country place. That plump old man with the shrewd, kind face Silver-crowned with curling hair, Throned on the porch in his rocking-chuir, Watching the Sound till the sky grows dark, Watching the gulls in Seaside Park, King of the Realm of Let's Pretend, P. T. Barnum, boyhood's friend!
