Ring around the moonAs a blood red sun slowly sets on the village of Brigadoon, Enveloped by a shining aura, like a ring around the moon. They will slumber for a hundred years, yet never seem to age, Magical musical of the silver screen, masterpiece of the stage. The Jets and Sharks dance their way through an urban set, In a modern creation of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliette Two innocent lovers caught up in events of deadly confusion, That famous story of love, ultimately had a tragic conclusion, Tornados wreaked havoc as it swept across a Kansas plain, Transported to a world of colour and children's fantasies reign, With a Cowardly lion, Wicked witch, Tin man and a Scarecrow, Dorothy takes us with her, where children's imaginations grow. What! You want more? One of the most famous lines ever said, Before Oliver breaks free an orphanage of soup and stale bread, Joining a squad of pickpockets, equips him for a life on the street, Marvellous songs that children sing, tap-dancing with their feet. We saw the Dance of the Siamese children, Miss Anna and the King, Charmed by those lovable royal children, endearing smiles as they sing, Teaching the King some western customs, but maintaining the Siam of old, The King has in Anna an equal adversary, as the children make her bold, Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
