THE GREAT ANIMAL FAIR DISASTER


There was a Toronto musician,
who suffered from extreme ambition:
he wanted to play
at least for one day
at Animal Fair exhibition.

To undertake that noble mission,
the prepared animal audition,
and gathered them dense
inside wooden fence,
and didn't charge any admission.

Further this one proposition,
he wrote his own composition.
Introducing culture
into agriculture
he hoped to increase their fruition.

When he took final position
sure of his novel submission,
all animals present
except for one pheasant
waited for music rendition.

He started his exposition.
Contrary to supposition,
production was bummer
- he was only drummer -
causing common admonition.

In order to show opposition,
cows made sudden intermission:
with enormous pleasure
released extra measure
of flatulent gases emission.

The horses also in addition
broke down the sorrounding partition,
galloping indeed
in splendid stampede
and causing extreme demolition.

Quite later the City commission
wrote up detailed deposition
and simply admitted:
"Music wasn't fitted
for animals' art recognition."
