School Play

I’m going to a play tonight! 

My friend said that it’s out of sight! 

I sure hope that my friend is right— 

It costs eleven dollars!   

Now here I am, I’m at the play. 

My friends from school rehearsed all day! 

They learned exactly what to say, 

The whispers and the hollers.   

My friend said that the songs are good, 

And each kid in the neighborhood 

Learned all his lines just like he should, 

’Til every scene was tight.   

If only they had got someone 

To make sure that the lights were run, 

It would have been a lot more fun! 

It sure was out of sight!
