Dance With Nutcracker Prince Poem by Margaret Alice Second

My guru recommends positive, joyous
anticipation, promising the universe is
abundant; it struck me that on October
the tenth I ordered a Nutcracker ballet
DVD with Mikhail Baryshnikov, no less,
in the leading role, and it is already the
twenty-sixth

I had better do research as to why the
dear Mr Plaatjes in charge of my quest
has not produced the desired DVD as
yet, given that he is the hands through
which the universe will provide - and I
am the orchestrator who said I wanted
to watch

The Sugar Plum Fairy dance the grand
pas de deux with the Nutcracker Prince
