b-t-c up in the air

you’d think the circus

would be afraid to have an airport

named for the clown who owns

the title of leader of the most

failed businesses

but Bluffo the clown’s nomenclature

is proposed as the new name for a busy

prosperous international facility

Bluffo has crashed so many times

how can we hope for a ‘soft landing’?

our b-t-c does not even merit

having a field named after him

—poor Bluffo
