Puppet Sonnet Numero Seis

Again, the theme of the Sonnets is “What one wish would each puppet make and what would it have to do to make it come true?” Inspired, of course, by the story of Pinocchio, some Mexican culture and the puppets themselves.

For martyrs and death, wears pants of amarillo
To guide souls a loin cloth of naranja
On top he wears the head of el ciervo
For marigold petals he shakes a maraca
 
Bo Diddley had Jerome Green play maracas
Chachalacas make noise to raise the dead
And then Sly Stone said boom shaka laka
Shake Maracas, marigold petals spread
 
Be in time
Bring the groove
Promote the pulse
And you will be a real baterista
 
From the underworld, follow petals of marigold
Follow beats of different drums, watch your world unfold
