Somehow I get the feeling that at this rate we may soon run out of elephants

You always have to grumble
There are definatly too many elefants around!

Are we talking African or Indian elephants?

Africans, with their big ears
People like them better, they are the "real" elefants.
Indians are to ordinary for a sewer circus.

What, even if they are being swallowed by mythical and non-existant monsters? What a fussy crowd. Not fair at all.

Alright, we can take Indian Elefants if they're pink.

A man went tiger-hunting with his elephant and gun
In case of accidents he always took his mum,
He's the All-American, bullet-headed, saxon mother's son..

*feeling guilty*

No need to feel guilty - I'm sure it will come with practice.

Do we have a tent?
(hope this is the right word)

Yes, tent is the right word, and yes, we have one. It's a marquee tent, big and round.

I thought we could let some monsters stand in a way they are building a kind of tent.
Best place to sit would be in their mouths.
Or maybe we would run out of people.
I seem to waste a lot of living material.

You are definately a very imaginative thinker - I'll say that about you, my friend. It is a shame that there tends to be a lot of death too, but that is only something that you'll remember. Once you get the hang of not killing everything in sight, you'll be great and perfect for the circus.

Was that a compliment?
*looking very confused*

I think there should be security cameras to watch everyone, so no-one gets hurt. There should be policemen everywhere and seatbelts. There should be signs like: No Feeding of Monsters, Smoking causes cancer, watch your step, no monsters got hurt, take care...etc.
I'll make sure no monsters will ever be hurt again.

Am I now perfect for the circus?
