A triumph of artistic erudition,
a monumental, historic production, 
played to houses hushed and full - 
Aesop's Fables with real animals - 
glorious choreographed interaction,
among creatures of all extractions,
audiences transfixed and beguiled
by kings and queens of the stage, self-styled, 
discussed in every chic salon,
until, an unfortunate contretemps,
there was no hint of trouble or indication,
when a bit a player forgot his station,
and when the director fiercely drew a bead,
the resultant kerfuffluous stampede
was reported, sadly in Le Monde,
and the curtain dropped on the show across the pond.
