Dance of the Sugar Plums I have been to see it every year, 'cause I have nieces who are in the
ballet Ev'ry year I sit and suffer through dancing mice, soldiers and Clara
and the tree At the end I need a drink, but all they have is tea Here in my seat I the first row I sit and I try to look very deeply amused Here in my seat in the first row I sit and I suffer through dancing Nutcracker
abuse They dance, they dance, now on and on, act after act O, I hate Tchaichovsky's Nutcracker, Nutcracker, It's so sweet that it
makes me sick Hate the little dancers and their moms, the orchestra Every year I sit and I surfer through dancing mice, soldiers who march
around It's the end lets stand up and clap and lets go home and lie down © Garrison Keillor 2002 |
