5 SHOWTIMES

Saturday morning cartoons muzzle the monsoon that reigns outside,

a paramount of theatrics huddled under one eave,

characters came in droves to seek warmth,

the episodic adventures of 'Tiny Tornados' was sold out,

the majority of tickets were sold in bulk to a group of jive turkeys,

Larry the Loon was on the trombone,

Barry the Buffoon was conducting the orchestra, 

showtimes were set to advance all day,

and would refresh every odd hour from 3pm on,

the torrents now downshifted to a steady drizzle,

rain checks began to overshadow the possibilities of performance,

but the show ran it's course,

and oblong balloons caused all the kid's laughter,

twenty-nine glasses clanged in celebration,

and the grass thickened as the plot twisted slicker.......
