“Phantasmagoria”

I’m living a fantastic phantasmagoria!
Never have I felt such feels, such euphoria!
Now I have helped craft a spell-binding story, a
play that is a wingèd queen like Victoria,

I know that while to work is often laborious,
rarely work’s in vain. No I’m not vainglorious!
Often work brings pain but often work’s glorious.
Always for good work you are meritorious.

My case in point today is Jigsaw’s “The Firebird”,
filled with ardent speech, the chirpiest choir heard,
movements to the music, moving, inspired words...
Like Fair Helen they deserve their admirers.

So glad I am from working hard on this pièce with them,
I’ve no cause to say that I’m unimpressed with them
or disheartened with myself ’cause I’m blessed with them.
PS: What’s the piece that we’re doing next with them?
