In 2017 Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus for
the last time took down its tents
No more clowns, no more elephants, no more fly trapeze, no
more Big Cats—all to our memories to be sent
In 2011 before AOC and her end of the world due to climate
change prediction was Harold Cramping a radio evangelist
Who predicted the Second Coming of Christ with deaths each day upward to 10/21
when the world would cease to exist
In 1992 Johnny Carson after 30 years hosted his penultimate show with Robin
Williams and Bette Milder as guest
Soon millions of Americans without the Tonight Show would
be able to bed down earlier and wake up with more zest
In 1991 former India P.M Rajiv Gandhi on the campaign trail
was killed by a suicide bomber’s blast
In 1998 the Iron Lady gave her Sermon on the Mound at the Church of Scotland
that capitalism must last.
In 1979 Dan White who had killed Mayor Moscone and Gay Supervisor
Harvey Milk was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter due to his “Twinkie
Defense”
5000 thousand gays took to the streets rioting due to light
sentence for what really was a first degree murder offense
