Haiku Friday: Musical Theater!
Ok, that whole "Cats" thing totally creeps me out. Seriously. I can't even watch beyond the first three seconds.
Still, can we haiku about musical theater. Sure, I've never gone there (for obvious reasons-- I don't know anything about it) but... there are those who love it.
I'll go first:
Disaster has struck!
Town imperiled, All is lost...
So, Let's sing and dance!
Now, it is your turn (and I'm really counting on y'all here to fill in the many many gaps in my knowledge). There recipe, syllable-wise, is 5/7/5, and the winner gets a bio here on Monday! Now, go!

The message lingers...

Reverts to her old language:
"Move yer bloomin' arse!"
Three strippers: ballet,
electric lights and trumpet
They had a gimmick!

A purse can come from
A pig's ear,guttersnipe to
