Wasn't That a Day

Wasn't that a day - 
Peter and the Wolf
in the Bolshoi Ballet.

Yet, in that regard,
Peter - and a wolf
in a leotard?

Yes, I always wondered about male ballet performers in tights when taken to ballets as a kid, but was too shy to ask anyone. Lol, liked this one, David. Brought back memories of also enjoying Peter & the wolf.

Haha, if you grew up where/when I did, you might remember some old Tex Avery cartoon, where they do a version of Red Riding Hood with a wolf dressing up like a grandma. That's the image I had in my mind. I remember I was in first grade when the teacher played Peter and the Wolf. I loved it and the idea of each instrument was a different animal.
