EVENTS
A Cat with a hat, and a boy with
ideas,
An elephant on a nest – wait, is
this for real?
A trio of bird-girls and monkeys,
say what?
A typical show at CFRT, this cer-
tainly is not.
On adventure with Horton to save
a planet of Who's,
But first we deal with a trial, an
egg and a sour kangaroo.
It's excitement in Haymont not
normally seen,
With a Circus of tricks to make
even the Grinch green.
JoJo shows us the way with his
very first think,
And brings to life this menagerie
– you'd better not blink!
This Cat with striped hat is a treat
to behold,
His voices and movements, they
never get old.
In the air we find Mayzie, on
ropes and on rings,
And her voice is truly a-Mayz-ing
when she sings.
Not to be outdone, another bird
named Gertrude
Steals our hearts with her devo-
tion to Horton, the elephant dude.
Poor Horton, he's clueless, but
loyal and decent.
He'll do the right thing, you can
bet 100 percent.
Those Wickersham boys are
nothing but trouble,
But gifted with stunts and stilts,
they might even juggle.
The costumes are fit for dance
and for f light,
With designs of feathers and col-
ors to delight.
Cast and crew are talented, even
gifted I'd say,
You'd better get your ticket – do
not delay!
The word will spread 'round the
'Ville soon enough,
This show is a sensation – that's
not even a bluff.
The Director pulled together a
fantastic display,
The theater "Rained" down with
applause as they say.
About Dr. Seuss, really, nothing
you need know,
Before going to catch this mag-
nificent show.
Suitable for all ages and colors
and creeds,
This joyous tale is just what we
need.
