taking definite shape with each pass

audience laugh occasionally or make
them jump at some hairraising jumI
or leap every half hour; he means
thriller that is going to thrill, thrill
every one everywhere, every minute

and every other manner Of gymnasti'
contrivance and the clowns will lent
touch Of mirth to the show through

their rank foolishness.
Nor will there be a lack of musi
