The Playwright
Over and under I hear the blasting thunder.
It escapes, the playwright does wonder.
So it starts to rain and the piano splits asunder.
The rain puts out the fire of a lightning strike.
The piano does die from music I like.
So the play continues from a singers' hike.
The singers saved the day.
The playwright saved the play.
So the singers and playwright never say nay.
The playwright wrote a new song
And the singers danced in a blue throng.
So the piano was replaced by singers of a hue strong.
