If I Could Be In a Pantomime

A long running pantomime was coming to an end of its successful showing. Once more one of the radio DJs asked if anyone had appeared in a pantomime. Then she asked if anyone wanted to appear in one, and if they did, what character would they like to be. The DJ had herself appeared in several pantomimes apparently and once she was Dick Whittington. I can never understand why ladies play boys parts, and men play women’s parts in pantomimes but it’s all good fun, isn’t it? I sent her this poem on her Facebook page. If I could be in a pantomime By The new mad Author 29-1-16 If I could be in a pantomime. I’d be Dick Whittington’s cat. Because I’d be covered up. So not be recognised as that. There is another reason. I expect you know. As would get lots of praise. From that Dick Whittington you know. Of course I would purr a lot. If a certain Dick Whittington I had got. The name I’m not allowed to tell. Glad I did not choose William Tell. A Purr-fect poem got not a whisker of a reply Me-ow.
