I think I'd rather that I could have heard
Real opera from the Swedish Nightengale,
But Broadway types, have probably preferred
A modern style. And style must e'er prevail
In show biz. This is Barnum simplified
And made into the spectacle. A real
And factful film, as others might have tried,
Would fail where this succeeds, a bit, I feel.
My eyes betimes did want to roll, of course
I mean, I saw Zac Efron on trapeze!
So many stories wandered from the source.
Viz... Tom Thumb gets no wedding? And, puh-lease,
The Eng twins as a sight gag in each dance
Instead of getting lines, screen time, a chance?
