Day 61

10/28/2006

"There must be some kind of way out of here",
Said the Joker to the Thief.
"There's too much confusion,
I can't get no relief."

-- Bob Dylan, All Along the Watchtower

...Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh...

-- Kenny Loggins, House at Pooh Corner

The following is a Play in 1/16th of an Act.

Joker: played by Alan Schlesinger
Thief: played by Joe Lieberman
Christopher Robin: played by Ned Lamont
Setting: An empty stage, somewhat askew, with our players and two fruit boxes for seats.

J: Oh, soulful me! What have the darkened dizzies wraught?

CR: Will thou whine, while Dawn's nimble shafts yet hint appear?

T: I know a man, who knows a man.
A basket plump with deeds anew,
I must sour humble stew.

J: But looming yet the thunder roll,
Our clouds a-gather in the East.

T: None but I can gather in
With my withered cadremen
Provisions for full-safe encase.

CR: Your crumbling, mottled crew
Have naught but petty parts to play.
Is memory's haze a stumbling shoe,
I am Prince, and thus not you?

J: (weeping) I would lead.
Is simple truth of sight my fatal fault, indeed?
