Day 23. The town is so starved for entertainment (just like the title of this episode!) that the most popular game is Lie On The Ground And Do Nothing. So, with apologies to Theo S. Geisel…
The sun, it did shine,
But there’s nothing to play.
So we sat on the ground
For the rest of the day.
Sophia, she sat down,
The rest of us too.
And we said, “how we wish
We had something to do!”
Then an idea came
From the Town Council’s head.
Not a funny-brimmed cat,
A talent show instead.
Then off to prepare
All the townkids did do.
There was comedy, singing
And Bill Shakespeare, too.
Natasha and Migle
Acted lazy and dumb
And were compared to Nicole
And Paris by some.
(Just don’t ask Alex
What that reference is from.)
Greg and his Blue cronies
Gave the duo a throwdown:
You’d better do work
Or we’ll all throw the showdown.
The threat, it was empty,
They didn’t plan to do it.
But Natasha and Migle
Were convinced, and got to it.
But, not all of the townskids
Were cunning and plucky,
Savannah was homesick
And missed dear Kentucky.
The showdown had townskids
Make paintings with gum,
Leaving a big mess
And making jaws numb.
Green made upper class
For the very first time,
With a red-colored horse
That was covered in slime.
But time ran out before
Yellow could get done
Denying the kids paint
Or some party fun.
The talent show was
Immediately forthwith.
Jared read a selection from
Henry the Fifth.
Greg and Blaine made a silly
Shakespearean duo.
There was music and singing
Before the night was through-o.
(Hey, even Dr. Seuss had to stretch for a rhyme once in a while. “Nimbley” and “chimbley?”)
Olivia did comedy,
And Kennedy’s dance
Was so gosh-darn wacky
The kids were entranced.
All in all, it was quite
A hilarious day.
So much so, Savannah
Decided to stay.
Kennedy’s antics proved
She was talented by far.
And she, she herself,
Kennedy got the Gold Star.
Next week: “Not Even Close To Fair”
Looks quite strange,
As the four Town Districts
Plan to rearrange.
