Sleepy Hallow lines Act 1

The Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow

And Sleepy Hollow and burgs of its sort, and blossomed in the great state of New York, the people, the manners and customs of old remain fixed and constant with a changeless hold

Visitors too become quickly invited with the haunts and the lore that the hollow prescribes

One guest of note a teacher a thinker took the bait solidly hook line and sinker the story is his but the gossips are swelling they are good at two things talking and telling

Hearing the news is my very best talent

Don't sell yourself short dear you know that's not true

Your question was vague

As if for effect

Oh it's nothing important it's not a great matter just something about our newest School master

What do you know

They say that he's smart and has boyish good looks they even say he has read some several books

Several books

Not only that he comes to a single

A man of refinement

In need of a bride

Are you sure he's looking for a bride I mean

The men here are stones

All except one

The pedagogues Mind spun into a trance in delicious morsels appeared and enhanced one thought to the next each thought the more youngly

Creating a food scapefor his hungry tummy

Shall life inherit then Fancy's Fly Away

They thought him a hero who made a great difference Awakening the hollows cultural interests

I'd be delighted

Ichabod had the best meal of his life with Katrina and her parents baltus and wife meanwhile brown bones was annoyed and perplexed

Katrina's a beauty and everyone's eyes but baltus's Farm made her much more the prize huge tracks of land with grazing livestock miles of corn and geese by the flock every plump thing all the silos of grain all over seen by Ichabod Crane

No need to teach these runny nose dances if baltuses farm and his daughter becomes his he let his tummy grow big like his life and importance man with the prettiest wife

Yay something exciting

Just think Sleepy Hollow has had a witch sighting

My whole life here is in the hollow has been boring

Don't get me wrong I am slightly concerned

But until then

Until there's indictment let's just enjoy the new Witch Hunt excitement

Who is he talking to

Who's Cotton Mather

There's no need I can laugh with the best but I'm humbled Katrina by your sweet request you personify all that is dear and in your kindness my heart takes a great cheer

He does have a way with words
