PANTO PIN PAIN

Little Miss Angel

Stepped on a pin

She screamed so loud

One dreadful din.

Hopping on one foot

She screamed again

Flapping her wings

To dampen the pain.

Teacher dashed over

Rescued the pin

Snapped at Angel

For audible sin.

Angel reacted

With shocking force

Reprimanded

By Mother, of course.

Her face was crimson

Off flew her wings

Stamped off the stage

Kicking nearby things.

The Panto ended

In fearful scenes

Angels shouting

While scenery leans.

With tumbling roar

The staging fell

No one was hurt

But it broke the spell.

Then out of the dust

Came a glad shout

This was brilliant

What Panto’s about.

It ended indeed

With much laughter

Everyone said

Couldn’t be dafter.

And so, dear children, when you act on the stage

You may find such fun you’ll recall for an age.
