It is time for a comedy tonight!
What can we do to lighten the mood?
Dim the lights!
Put on our costumes!
Too big for my liking
One can trip over and fall
Flat on their…Balloons!
Yes! We need balloons and props!
Whistles, fireworks and magical tricks!
Candles to set the mood
Face paints and masks
Gallant gentlemen to escort us
For us to entertain and receive their graces
Ladies dressed elegantly
Peering through eyeglasses
Too elegant for my liking
Makes me feel disorientated
As if I should be quoting Shakespeare
Or in fact being Lady Macbeth on the stage
Tragic and Oh so Captivating!
But I will be the fool of King Lear
With my face paint and words poetic
Shall we be as such darling dear one?
A comedy tonight and we
Shall be the stars
Or the fools of the stage
So often sought
Seldom thought upon
But adored all the same
When the time is right
