Senor Wences.

He came on stage
All courtesy, smiles
And dapper outfit.
Ed* would give him
The enthused intro.



The man threw
His voice into puppets
Or a strange
Talking box…”sawright.”
Humour was always
Clean and current.
Seemed like voices
Together, happy
Witty.



Having put down
The critters
Rooster, monkey
Whatever.
Senor would
Switch to juggling
Plate spinning on sticks.
Amazing speed.
Control.



A total entertainer
Bringing delight
To this eleven year old.
Sunday Night.
