Arthur Miller wrote a play called The Crucible,
It was about the witch trials, and it was full -
of characters, plot lines, lots of Goods -
Tituba, Tituba, dancin' in the woods.
It's set in Salem, a pretty freaky place,
Everybody's Christian, "Devil don't dare show your face!"
Poor Mary Warren...
When something goes wrong, who's to blame?
Abigail, Abigail, that's her name.
She loved John Proctor, but he didn't feel the same,
So she rounded up the witches. It was no harmless game.
The women were depressed (you would think they were Goth,)
Goody Putnam had a baby and it's head popped off!
Poor Mary Warren...
Elizabeth Proctor was John's faithful wife,
She didn't trust Abigail (who tried to take her life.)
Abby wanted John, and Johnny felt the lust,
so E-Proc put her to the curb - she did what she must.
Poor Mary Warren...
By this time, the town was going mad.
They were sure it was witches, which was very very bad.
Mr. Hale put his foot down, he said, "I quit this court!"
"There's no such thing as witches - abort, abort!"
Poor Mary Warren...
Goody Nurse, she wouldn't confess,
no matter the consequence or the stress.
When the time came, John wouldn't sign,
so he ripped up the paper and said his goodbyes.
Poor Mary Warren...
That's a rap.
Between today's writing sessions, The Creeklings raided the Ross Creek rec. director's goofy props locker and performed the rap on the bleachers of the Two Planks outdoor stage! (Stay tuned for a special RC re-mix in the days to come...)
