The Dirigible Balloon
Poetry for Children

What a Pantomime!

Witty wordplay
Hissing, “He’s behind you!”
Animal antics
Theatre Treat.

Audience applause.

Pirates, princesses,
Aladdin, Aurora,
Nana, Neverland,
Tinkerbell, Twankey,
Oh yes she is!” outburst.
Magic mirrors,
Ice cream, in-jokes,
Musical memories
Everyone entertained.
