Excellent poem Dean.

Another op'nin another show
At the Bluestocking, I'm sure you you know
There's a new round of drinks that we hope will last
And make our future as fun as the past

It's a chance to display how we manage to grow
AI's problems in painting our ongoing show
Here are the quokkas to say "hello"
Watch out for the gerbils as they run to and fro

😍

The quokka acapella quartet will be performing your poem in the book snug at 15 minute intervals through the evening.

There will be lessons given to the younger quokkas so they can sing it as well

I love The Quokkapellas. I have all their albums.

DeanElderberry · 11/11/2024 15:45

Clearly I transcribed they last couplet (sorry muse) and it should have been

Here are the quokkas to sing "hello"
Admire the gerbils as they dance to and fro

AI is refusing to do the gerbils dancing to & fro.

It's going to be a fabulous show. Great way to open the new chapter.

Singing quokkas, dancing gerbils

ETA having seen the costumes this was obviously just a bog standard rehearsal and not the dress rehearsal

Sorry, Boily. You're on the Costume Committee now. Thursdays at 12 noon in the East Wing Conference Room, some sewing on of sequins may be required. OK?

Alas I will be otherwise engaged tomorrow, and Wednesday and Thursday and Friday... otherwise I'd relish (not bloody likely) sewing on sequins.

I used to make costumes. I can sew on sequins. What's the pay like?

Non-existent. You'd be doing it for the love of gerbils. Or sequins. For me, it's sequins.

I'm here for the sparkles, me. More sequins the better!

I love sequins ( give them back, Magpie) and I love JKR. Although the QM was allegedly a cantankerous old bird with a love of gin and gambling.

MarieDeGournay · 11/11/2024 18:04

Cue old 'Did you sew all those sequins on yourself?' 'No, I sewed them on my dress' joke.Grin
Ah the old ones are the.. oldest...

I fear it's too late for Magpie to give them back. She is fully sequined

I think you've found my spirit animal!

Magpies are naturally iridescent, clad in shifting colours. No man made sequin could compete with that subtle complexity. The 'black and white' thing is a cunning trick.

FuzzyPuffling · 11/11/2024 18:34

That's more of a "dragpie".

Very true, but I'm taking the belt and braces approach. Can never have too much sparkle.
