....he was a horrific parody of a human...and I remember he stank of body odor....tulips indeed!!!...When I was around eight years old I saw him in an Alabama cow pasture at a sketchy, third-rate circus. We had to drive out to the boonies, down a dirt road, to get there. Entering the tired yellow big top I saw him, sprouting from the dirt like a coat rack, dessed in black and his face a ghastly white. He sang his famous tulip song and, even over the snickering of other children, I was paralyzed with fear. Haha.
