LITTLE DOUG WHITE’S WINNING ENTRY!


Instead of choosing between a prayer and a Dr. Seuss-like poem,  Mr. White submitted this contest-winning entry utilizing both options. It’s a Dr Seuss-like prayer:

Little Doug White bowed his head and did pray
He wanted to go to La Nouba, in June, on the 27th day.

“Dear Jesus Christ, Lord, God and Allah
Ishvara, Skakti, Mohammed and Buddha
Shangdi, Shen, Zhu and Tian
Jehovah, Aten and even Bhagavan”

To be sure he was heard both near and by far
He even prayed to Malik and Ek Onkar

He dreamed of the performers, the clowns and the mimes
And even the transvestite, with a voice that just chimes
With bouncing and flying and dancing and kicks
With juggling and balancing and all kinds of tricks

He pictured the trampoline, the lyra and the chiffon
Then thought of the unicycle the midget rode on
How delightful it would be, if to that big top he could go
And to hear the announcement, “On with the show”

He prayed and he prayed and he wished even more
So he entered this contest, and his hopes they did soar
“Please let them pick me” he thought hard in his head
“If Miss Sammy can’t go, then I’ll go with Doug Bowser instead”

He pleaded and pleaded with Wanzie to say
“You can come with me, on that very special day”
“So Waheguru and Adi Purusha and even Krishna
Mahabharata. Trimurti, Satnam and Rama

Please let them pick me and the verse that I write
I am so looking forward to that extraordinary night.”
'Cause no one likes a big top, like little Doug White.


2nd PLACE PRIZE AWARDED TO “JYM” FROM TAMPA:


Our Secret Panel of Sacred Judges was so impressed with this next entry, they prevailed upon the Cirque people to cough up another pair of tickets for this Friday night’s 9 PM performance. Although these seats may not be in the VIP section, the tickets are still valued at $138.00 and we think the folks at La Nouba are just swell for making them available to our unanticipated 2nd place winner. Congratulations to Jym from Tampa. We hope you will meet up with us on the outside balcony prior to the show. Please send WANZIE your legal name, under which you need to claim your tickets at the Will Call Box Office window along with picture ID.

For everyone else’s enjoyment – here is Jym's winning entry:

Front Row Mo’s

Cirque Du Soleil it’s a wonderful show,
Cirque Du Soleil we so want to go,
Front row, we need to go, thought Myj and Nhoj a couple of mo’s
They didn’t know how they might go till Wanzie offered two tics to the Show.
 
All sorts of images popped into their heads,
Each night while they lay snuggled up in their beds.
Amazing male specimens on wings of red,
The bare-chested strong man with a clean-shaven head.
 
Acrobats and Aerialists way up in the sky,
Balancing acts on chairs stacked so high.
On trapeze above these Adonis’ do fly,
We had to get tickets, we just had to try.
 
The athletic ability of the awesome cast,
Leaving the audience with breath holding gasps.
The musical talent of the angelic voice
Made wanting La Nouba their premiere choice.
 
No Elephants, No Big Top, No Cotton Candy,
No Flash Photography, No Pennants, that's fine and dandy,
No Lions, No Tigers, No Lipizzaner Stallions,
Only the highest caliber of performance Battalions
 
Myj and Nhoj were hoping to be,
The luckiest mo’s to be able to see,
The only athletic, musical, performance play,
The Greatest show in Orlando, "Cirque Du Soleil".
