A Party in Mother Goose Land: A One Act Play for Primary Children

by Effa E. Preston

I’m Mother Goose’s footman now.

I’m sure I’ll please her well.

I’ll plainly speak and stiffly bow

As names of guests I tell.

Mother Goose:

Be ready, for they’re coming now.

I hope my cap’s on straight.

Go promptly when they knock, Boy Blue,

And do not make them wait.

A knock is heard. Boy Blue opens door, announces thru horn “Hansel and Gretel”. They enter, advancing to front. Same form is used for entrance of all the guests who seat themselves at back of stage after speaking or singing.
