Tie o’ the Day #2 (a Stacy Adams) heard that The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus is going out of business forever. Tie’s been bawling its eyes completely dry all day. You see, Tie has always had the dream of becoming a trapeze artist with that circus. Tie wants to fly through the air, with the proverbial greatest of ease. I managed to snap this photo of Tie practicing its trapeze artistry in the laundry room. From clothes hanger to clothes hanger to clothes hanger, Tie continues to swing–with tears a’cloudin’ its eyes–with spectacular dignity and grace, despite the fact that The Greatest Show on Earth is kaput. Even Tie o’ the Day’s dreams sometimes come crashing down. And to Tie, I’m positive it feels like there is no safety net. Pobrecito. 😭
