He comes down when all is sound

He hangs up his                  stick                             

to hear the clock tick.

He brings down a friend

Who loves to attend.

Gino The mouse is his biggest fan

He waits every year

With his Sensitive Ear.

He’d sneak into the show

And sit on his toe.

With his cane and  Hat

And a cheese on his lap

Carefully wrapped.

After the performance would give a grand old clap.
