20 Poem From The Play-Animal Crackers

When we did animal crockers, we needed two minutes for a change, a scenery change. So I wrote a ridiculous poem, and I always think of whether the audience is really listening to the actor on a stage.

I wrote the most ridiculous poem you could possibly write and try it on the audience. In the first 10 weeks we did the show, we used to get a sophisticated New York audience. They used to laugh and they used to applaud at the end.

And the last line would be, so be a real like, holly-och, and laugh, clown-wet.
