Opening Night

"Right, well, we may not be Ringling Brothers, BUT we have always been quality .... right??" The group of painted and costumed clowns sat looking up at the spectacle. Their exaggerated shoes patting together in an agitated manner.

O.K., the boy arrived 10 months ago with no skills, no presence, nothing except a wish to be a flyer ... a trapeze artist ... he almost got a nose bleed every time he went up. BUT, there he was ... opening night.

The wigged, red nosed clowns were intent. "Can you believe THAT'S his costume?" We'll never live this down!!!" "Wilbur, he's in white tights!" " You better look at yourself .... you've taken the Velveteen Rabbit to an all NEW LOW .... really !!!"

  2. I love your take on our blue bunny suited man...not something I would wear...at least not without some 'medicinal' aids ;-) Glad to see you putting your excellent writing skills to Saturday Centus...Peace, blessings, and have a lovely Easter...

  4. Nice take. Surprisingly, not many have seen the theatrical possibilities of this picture of the costumed man.
    Thanks for your interesting thoughts about my post. Please come back and read "Part Two" (just keep scrolling down). You will see that you were on the right track. Congtats!
    Best wishes,
