" Pure Slapstick "
by Suzán Jiván Mom & Mom-Mom Suzán
Pure slapstick dexterity antics
frenzied dancing quivering lips
agitated histrionics cavorting and clowning
never letting the action lapse
developing rapidly no chance to relax
continuing hilarity spurred on by publicity
epitomizing wit in twisted positions
like newborn infants all pantomimists
in cotton tights on opening night
subtitled "In the Limelight of a Meteric Rise"
drawling amusing lines suffering from laryngitis
with unerring timing in recent revivals
to no one's surprise from high society
all-too-wisely as a precocious child
via mobile show-stopping set designs
waiting to be dubbed "A Knight"
by a steadfast admirer befitting a wide-
eyed bride on her wedding night...
