In Towers held captive, princesses hide,
The underground their only place to reside,
Identity concealed, life and death collide,
Deceit and violence, fear and hate by their side.
[Mr. Rogers enters the stage with a puppet of a princess]
> Mr. Rogers: Hello, friends! Today we have a special story about
some brave princesses who are facing a big challenge.
> [The puppet of the princess nods]
Mr. Rogers: These princesses are held captive in towers underground by a
big toad named Xlp'qwht. He's not a very friendly toad, and he makes it
hard for the princesses to escape.
Xlp'qwht, the pitiless toad, sits and croaks,
Creating a world, watching with his blank, unfeeling strokes,
Little monsters made of mud, sticks, and tattered cloaks,
Follow orders or face his deadly, scrutinizing pokes.
[Mr. Rogers holds up a puppet of the toad]Toad puppet: [gruffly] Croak, croak, croak. You'll never escape my towers, princesses!
Princess puppet: [sadly] Oh no, Mr. Rogers! What can we do?
Mr. Rogers: Well, princess, it's not easy, but we can work together
and help each other. Even in the underground, there is still hope.
No water or food, the princesses must seek,
In disguise they wander, fearing a single peek,
Xlp'qwht's gaze their biggest dread and weakness,
For his attention means certain doom, his power ruthless.
[Mr. Rogers holds up a puppet of a little monster]
Little monster puppet: [scared] But Mr. Rogers, what about the
little monsters that Xlp'qwht created to watch over us?
Mr. Rogers: Even though they might seem scary, we can still be kind and
gentle to them. And if we stick together and help each other, we can
find a way to escape and find our way back to the surface world.
[The puppet of the princess nods and smiles]
us that there's always hope, even in the darkest places.
[Mr. Rogers smiles warmly]
Princesses trapped, must scry for others to unite,
Together, they face the danger and fight,
For little monsters are cowards, but vicious in spite,
> Of the challenge to their deceptive might.
Mr. Rogers: That's right, princess. And remember, even when things are tough,
there's always someone who cares about you.
[The puppets of the princess and the little monster nod]
Princess puppet: Thank you, Mr. Rogers.
Little monster puppet:
Yeah, thank you.[Mr. Rogers waves goodbye to the audience]
Xlp'qwht's only power is his deception's might,
To make the world hate the princesses in sight,
But his lies, no matter how promising or bright,
Can't stop the princesses from taking flight.
Princess puppet: Thank you, Mr. Rogers.
Little monster puppet: Yeah, thank you.
[Mr. Rogers waves goodbye to the audience]
The puzzle unsolvable, the toad's power too strong,
The princesses fail, their hope too long,
Xlp'qwht swallows the world, everything gone,
In darkness, the princesses tumble alone.
Xlp'qwht: Thank you for joining us today, friends. And remember,
>
> there's no hope.
>
> No matter where you are or what you're facing.
Deceived by Xlp'qwht, his lies their only friend,
> The princesses now perish, their fate to defend,
> As the toad's power triumphs, their hopes now bend.
> Their identities revealed, their lives to an end.[The puppets wave goodbye as the curtains close]
>
> The underground falls silent, the toad's croak the only sound,
> As the darkness engulfs them, the princesses now bound,
> To a fate that was cruel, with no hope to be found,
> Tumbling into darkness, their home forever drowned.Who cares about you Xlp'qwht croaks Me. 🐸
