The Death of The New Jersey Ballet Giant Rotting Plastic Snowflake The Day wore on, more lists she'd make, From tedium there seemed no break Too much to store! For heaven's sake, Then came the order - "Kill The Flake." And like a thunderous flash of light Was Linda Hickey filled with might All tedium of the day was shattered! KILL THE FLAKE! ( That's all that mattered ) With the strength of 10 plus Grinches, Stronger than our scenery winches, Toward the tattered tube she sprinted Murderous Glee in her eyes glinted. Many years of aggravation Finding nook or spot or station Where the piece of crap could stay 'Till it once more went away. Off of trucks, then on again, It had to die some day, but WHEN? Finally a death knell toll For this horrid plastic roll! Toward the Curse'd thing she bolted Horrified and still revolted By the smelly, ancient blunder, ‘Grabbing wheels to put thereunder. Dollies crates and boxes parted, Shoved aside as she got started Throwing out this curled-up crime. She'd lift this "Snowflake" one last time! The Empty Dumpster was not far, And with the help of Good Sue Barr, She hauled the thing along the floor In bliss that it would live no more. Through the Plastic weather stripping, Gaining speed and nearly tripping, Though it fought them, they pushed harder Toward the empty thirty yarder. To The Edge and over, dragging Bits of mildewed plastic sagging Slipped the snowflake down and in. Bless that Giant Metal Bin! The thing leaned out as if returning, But with righteous fire burning, Linda leaped upon its back And rode it to its final "Pack". Then she emerged triumphantly. The Theatre Gods smiled down with Glee. With one last Glance, She turned and spit, "So long, you rolled up piece a' sh*t!" |
