Madame Bea, the Reader of Tea - Sticker

noreply@blogger.com (Sharon) — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 08:47:00 +0000

Madame Bea, wife of Goodwin Appleton, was the in-house mystic with her specialty being tea-leaf reading. In the window of her store the following sign was displayed;

Madame Bea, The Reader of Tea,
Asks you to sit down, in her dimly lit lounge.
A brew of strong Oolong
Will hold the answers, to the questions
You've held onto for so long.

The tannin stained liquid,
Splashes forth into the porcelain cup.
And the unrestrained leaves,
Float about all amok.

Bea ruffles ger feathers
As she asks you to drink up.
The excitement grows,
To see what is at the bottom of that tea cup...

What do you see Madame Bea?

It was the first time the children of the circus had seen snow - taking time out from their demanding gymnastic training, they made this snowman on the front lawn. Claude lent his cap and Clara her shawl to decorate the forlorn creature.

Ivan Beletsky (1941 - ) Oldest brother of the famous 'Beletsky Brothers' strongman act. Became fascinated with tattoos at the age of 15 when he started to believe they increased his strength. Once the brothers joined the Circus, Ivan made a comfortable living on the side parading with the marvels as 'Inked Ivan the Invincible'. Here patrons paid to see him flex his muscles and lift up attractive ladies from the crowd with one wing tip. Current whereabouts is unknown, but is believed to have fled to the Bahamas after his marriage dissolved in 1987.
