A Night At The Theatre
The
play was bad.
The
set was bad.
The
actors were very bad.
The
directing was bad.
The
lighting was bad.
The
sound was bad.
I
wanted to leave at the interval
but
my husband said — No, it's rude.
The
supper? The supper was good.
Here is a little poem from my new little book - 'Ungainly' (Mulla Mulla Press). I am still reeling from an amazing double launch with Coral Carter's 'Descended From Thieves' (Mulla Mulla Press) at Collected Works in Melbourne.
'Ungainly' is a little jeu d'esprit, a tiny drama, a wee farouche farrago.

Love the brevity & wit of this, Jennifer. I haven't walked out on theatre before, but have been sorely tempted. Congrats on the launch!
ReplyDelete'Ungainly' is a smokysweet little book. Everyone should buy it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Jen. And the poem was such fun! Great that the supper was good.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what a farouche farrago is but it has a good rolling sound!
