Synopsis
Mirror Mirror, glass of rhyme, what is the funniest pantomime?
Snow White’s the story that you seek. Linger here and take a peek.
A hapless two named Watt and Ware, who first we meet at this May Fair,
Take our dear Snow with raven locks, to put her heart into a box!
She runs and runs deep in the wood until she finds a cottage good.
Eight gnomes are there, each with their merits, tickling us into hysterics!
There should be seven, but from the mist, a strange gnome comes to give a twist …
No no, I can’t see our secrets slipped, what you should do is read the script! |
