A Three Ring Circus With Pony Rides
That is the old saying. It’s also a great show, if it can be found. Once upon a time the circus was the best show around! And it would travel from town to town.
If the advertisements were about the three ring circus, well, that was a big deal! It meant there would be quite a show, with all kinds of entertainment! And clowns, don’t forget about the clowns!
Entertainment and excitement were guaranteed when a three ring circus came to town. It was an event unlike any other, and to make it even better, occasionally, there would also be pony rides!
Send in the clowns
Everyone wanted to see the clowns and those crazy clown antics. They were unpredictable and could show up anywhere at any time!
Often times, with a bucket of water that would get hurled towards the audience! Not to worry though, the water always turned into confetti, and the audience was thrilled and delighted!
There was no way to predict all the entertainment and excitement that would happen in a three ring circus. Especially when all three rings were in full tilt! There was so much happening at the same time, it was almost impossible to see everything at once.
The clowns would be a part of the three ring spectacular, but in a supporting role, most of the time. Or maybe they would show up unexpectedly in the audience somewhere, to continue that water struggle, in the midst of the unsuspecting, and delighted audience members.
It was a fantastic show, and had all the elements of a real world spectacular event! There could be so much happening, it would be almost impossible, to see it all in one show. It could even seem chaotic at times.
Old school
This is why the old saying was an effective descriptor. I remember hearing it a lot, once upon a time. Especially from the grownups. It usually meant things were too dern crazy at the moment. Usually when the kids were creating a ruckus, and getting on the grownup’s nerves.
“Y’all need to settle down and behave, this has turned into a three ring circus with pony rides!” Something like that, and it was true, most of the time.
It had to be seen to be believed, and it was an event to remember, every time! The entertaining chaos and antics, were thrilling, and in some cases breathtaking! The grownups had their hands full.
The circus was entertaining too. It was so much so, that having fun, became just like a three ring circus with pony rides! Thanks for visiting the daily leap today!
