  • Right, curtain, yes.

  • Searching, searching.

  • Got it!

  • Welcome to the Barnaby B. Busterfield III

  • Memorial Library's Annual Poetry Day!

  • Only one rule on this Poetry Day.

  • All poems must have words with the "A-I" sound-- "ai"--

  • like "chain" and "train" and "drain" and "raining"

  • I'm sure you will find it quite entertaining.

  • ( band playing cool jazz )

  • CUBS: Mom?

  • Yes, cubs?

  • If Lionel and I write a poem

  • can we read it to everybody?

  • Absolutely.

  • Come on, Leona, let's go write our poem!

  • Okay!

  • Okay, we're going to write a poem.

  • Ah!

  • A hundred years ago on this very date

  • our founder, Barnaby B. Busterfield III

  • held the first Poetry Day.

  • What he began long ago we still celebrate.

  • If he knew that, I wonder what Barnaby would say?

  • I would say, "Thank me.

  • "Thank me very much.

  • Busterfield, you are truly great... and handsome."

  • Poultry Day?

  • Why do chickens get a day

  • and not us, uh...

  • Pigeons?

  • It's not Poultry Day!

  • It's Poetry Day!

  • Oh!

  • Oh!

  • Poetry!

  • Poetry!

  • Never heard of it.

  • A poem can transport you

  • take you places in your imagination.

  • It can move your heart and soul.

  • It can...

  • Oh, they're starting!

  • Ooh!

  • Oh!

  • Hey, I see a chicken.

  • ( playing snazzy tune )

  • And now the first poem of the day

  • read by the handsomest...

  • straight-shelf-stackingest librarian, Theo!

  • ( applause )

  • Thank you. Thank you.

  • THEO: Oh, spotlight, Click.

  • CLICK: Spotlight on Theo, coming up!

  • THEO: Click, the spotlight, not the curtain.

  • Oops.

  • CLICK: I have got it!

  • THEO: Okey-dokey.

  • "Waiting for...

  • Oh.

  • "Waiting for the Train."

  • A poetical extravaganza for persons of all ages

  • by Theo the Lion.

  • Illustrated in stunning depictions in the antique style.

  • Starring my sweet, adoring family.

  • THEO ( reading ):

  • The end.

  • ( laughing ): Thank you.

  • Thank you very much.

  • Now, that was poetry!

  • It had meter, a rhythm, a beat.

  • Yes, yes, yes!

  • And it had rhyme--

  • words that sound the same at the end

  • like "train" and "rain."

  • BOTH:

  • Yes, yes, yes!

  • And it transported you to another place and time

  • and told a story, didn't it?

  • Yeah, but, uh, it didn't have a...

  • Chicken?

  • Yeah!

  • Maybe, it's poultry without the chicken.

  • It's not "poultry," it's "poetry"!

  • Right, without the, uh...

  • Chicken!

  • ( laughing )

  • ( stammers ): Bah!

  • Hey, you having a good time?

  • All right.

  • And now Martha Reader and the Vowelles sing the "ai" sound

  • made by the letters A-I in the word "pail."

  • ( Martha singing "ai" sound, then Vowelles repeat "ai" )

  • ( singers sing "ai"; then monkeys say "pail" )

  • ( music ends, monkeys whoop )

  • WOMAN:

  • If it weren't for A-I

  • we wouldn't be getting paid.

  • Oh, you got a point there.

  • That's true-- no pain, no gain.

  • You know, I love you all, but I've got to go.

  • ( cheering )

  • GAWAIN: Excellent!

  • Gawain here once again at Blending Fields

  • where two brave knights in armor

  • will charge together at high speed and make a word.

  • Competing today we have Sir P...

  • ( cheering )

  • and Sir Aint!

  • ( cheering )

  • Blend on, dudes!

  • BOTH: Paint!

  • ( cheering )

  • Hold still.

  • Hold still!

  • Oh, it's you!

  • "Paint"-- excellent!

  • That's Gawain's word for today.

  • And this is Gawain saying

  • "Don't you complain"

  • because I'll see you next time on...

  • ANNOUNCER ( quietly ): Here we are back at the final "t" of the Word Cup Masters.

  • Word-writing ace Tiger Words is approaching the "t"

  • where he must write the word "paint."

  • Could be challenging.

  • There's the "p" sound at the beginning

  • followed by the "ai" sound

  • then the "n" sound, then that final "t."

  • P... ai... nt...

  • Paint.

  • If he makes it, he will win a train trip to Spain.

  • Tiger is selecting his writing tool.

  • He's playing it safe on this one.

  • It's a number-two pencil.

  • He gets in position

  • and, oh, look at that stroke--

  • a perfect letter P.

  • So far so good.

  • The letter P makes the sound "p"--

  • the first sound in the word "paint."

  • Let's see what Tiger does next.

  • He places his pencil and... there it is-- the letter A

  • which is the second letter in the word "paint."

  • Now watch.

  • Tiger is writing the letter N.

  • That makes the word "pant."

  • Oh, no!

  • He's putting his pencil away.

  • He seems to think he's finished.

  • What a disappointment.

  • But wait.

  • He's noticed his mistake.

  • Out comes a paintbrush.

  • ( crowd applauds )

  • With that signature Tiger style

  • he slips the letter I right in there next to the A

  • making the "A-I" sound of "ai."

  • He's written the word "paint," ladies and gentlemen.

  • Congratulations, Tiger

  • and enjoy that train trip to Spain.

  • ( train whistle blows )

  • ( bagpipes, drums playing march; audience applauds )

  • Our next poet is a very special guest.

  • This poet was born in Scotland.

  • ( inhales deeply, plays sour note, band music stops )

  • But later, he lived in Samoa.

  • ( swaying music plays )

  • CLEO: Besides writing excellent books like Treasure Island

  • and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

  • he was also a great poet

  • who wrote A Child's Garden of Verses.

  • Now, direct from A Child's Garden of Verses

  • Mr. Robert Louis Stevenson!

  • ( cheering and applause; bagpipes, drums play )

  • ( both chuckling )

  • Thank you.

  • You're embarrassing me.

  • ( Stevenson laughs )

  • Ahh!

  • ( audience applauds )

  • Thank you very much.

  • Thank you very much!

  • Oh, you're very kind.

  • Click, a spotlight for Mr. Stevenson.

  • Engaging spotlights.

  • ( gasps )

  • THEO: Click!

  • Och, my briscuit!

  • Click, raise the curtain!

  • Yeah!

  • Raising curtain.

  • Oops!

  • ( gasps ): Oh, Mr. Stevenson, are you all right?

  • ( groans )

  • Oh, at my age, a few new wrinkles don't bother me.

  • And now a wee poem that's all about the rain.

  • And I call it "Rain."

  • ( cheering and applause )

  • CLEO: Oh, wonderful!

  • Robert Louis Stevenson, everybody!

  • Give it up for Robert Louis Stevenson.

  • Great stuff, R.L.

  • Hey, hold, uh...

  • It?

  • Yeah!

  • Yeah, that did not tell a... a...

  • Story?

  • Yeah!

  • Hey, you said that poetry...

  • Poetry does not have to tell a story.

  • It can just be a word picture, like that one

  • with meter and rhyme, but no story.

  • That is poetry.

  • Hmm.

  • It made more sense when it just meant, uh...

  • Chicken?

  • Yeah!

  • Yeah!

  • It never meant chicken, never!

  • Our next poets are my talented cubs, Lionel and Leona

  • with a poem they wrote.

  • Oh, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.

  • ( clears throat )

  • Click? Curtain!

  • Curtain.

  • ( spotlight clicks on )

  • Very clever, Lionel.

  • Yeah.

  • LIONEL: Watch your step.

  • ( clears throat )

  • Ready?

  • Yeah, yeah.

  • "Drain Chain"...

  • by Lionel and... Leona.

  • Oh... me.

  • ( clears throat )

  • ( plays rim shot )

  • Hmm, ah, um, you're going to say

  • that that poem did not paint

  • a word picture, aren't you?

  • Abso... uh...

  • Lutely?

  • Yeah!

  • Yeah!

  • Well, I suppose we could say

  • that that one was... was about the words, yes.

  • The sounds, um... accented by the poet's, uh, raw emotion.

  • Yes, yes, of course!

  • That's poetry, too.

  • My brain, uh...

  • Hurts?

  • Yeah!
