‘ROLL UP! ROLL UP!’ - it’s almost ‘Showtime’!
…but, as well as the drama and spectacle of carnival, country fair
and cabaret,
‘Showtime’ can also be ‘Crunchtime’, the moment when opposing
forces or divergent energies collide.
To demonstrate this, the most entertaining circus of them all
will soon creak towards us - the National Election
with its skilled performers, drama and buffoonery.
So maybe the cry should be ‘Enrol Up!”
At a personal level we all strut and fret briefly on the stage,
under spotlights of varying wattage, costumed,
masked, bedecked …
The star performer though, always capable of upstaging our most
dazzling production, is Nature.
