Polly, I have this choregraphed thing

Molly, I know how to sing

A song

Happy go lucky nothing wrong

Words working as a message tool

Upbeat, sounding cool

Others are sad and blue

Lyrics conjuring tearful boo hoos

That breaks my heart

I want that part

In the show

Underneath the spotlight glow

Guarding us like a knight

Blazing and bright

Polly though you have to get it right

Budget is really tight

Here I have enough in my purse

Polly go off and rehearse

Theater we will meet

Front orchestra seat

We will discuss

The scene dance routine riding the speeding bus

Molly the audience I will command

That is the plan

Success we will be

Reviewers will see

You Molly as a financial backer

And me Polly a theatrical cracker

Performing the musical score

Soundtrack heard in the blue-plate special store

Encouraging us, ‘go on tour’

Get encores

And more

Strutting out the stage door

Polly, here are a few bucks

Go over to the slots where you will have luck

Or at least have fun flirting with good looking Huck
