100 - the Clown and the New World - epic poem audio extravaganza the Way of the Showman

    • Performing Arts

This is a celebratory episode along the lines of my previous audio poetic endeavours in episode 21 and 42. This is an epic poem which initially was called The Rime of the Ancient Merrier.
Merrier |ˈmerēər|
noun (mer•ri•er)
1 one who brings happiness to others.
2 a simple or special person, trad. considered blessed or touched by God.
3 a fool or a clown
ORIGIN Old English myrige [pleasing, delightful,] of Germanic origin; related to mirth.

This ode to Caliope, (which is both the Muse of epic poetry and a steam organ played along the midway of carnivals) chronicals one lone showman making his Way through the world. After life falls apart in the old world he boards a ship to the New World but life does not become any easier, in fact it gets a whole lot worse before he even gets there.
Follow it through to the end. Remember when the dark is the most complete we become able to spot even the tiniest lights.
