AT THE THEATRE

(To the lady behind me)

Dear Madam, you have seen this play:

I never saw it till today.

You know the details of the plot

But, let me tell you, I do not.

The author seeks to keep from me

The murderer’s identity,

And you are not a friend of his

If you keep shouting who it is.

The actors in their funny way.

Have several funny things to say,

But they do not amuse me more

If you have said them just before.

The merit of the drama lies

I understand, in some surprise;

But the surprise now must be small
