Writing Contest Entry #4

Open Mic Night (KiWeek Event)

I see you've arrived at our Open Mic Night
Where proper decorum is shelved and creativity takes flight.
Because you're our first guest, we'll let you in on what's up!
Come here, and I'll let you peek at our bomb diggity line up.

The opening act'll be performed by a heep hawp star.
He's got the moves and the grooves -- the ladies drool from afar.
He pops and he locks in a flat-billed hat,
When I first saw him I thought, "I din't know a human body could do that!"

Next up -
Two girls dressed to impress from head to toe
From sun hats to heels...who could possibly want mo'?
Don't be fooled by the dainty exterior, they could save you from peril
While singing "Afternoon Delight" -- these she-versions of Will Ferrell.

Now may I please introduce to you Miss Samantha Perry?
This acoustic guitarist has been dusted by a fairy.
She can strum your pain away with her magical fingers...
Serenade you with a voice that makes only happiness linger.

In the mix we have a flautist from the Longhorn Band
She's so skilled - I know she'll be back by popular demand.
There's Jen the RA, Kinsolving's heelarious storyteller
You wouldn’t be bored if you two were trapped in a cellar.

There will be slam poetry -- AKA music in spoken form.
The poem'll say, "LIVE LIFE!" with a rhythm outside prose norms.
It'll peel your onion layers and touch you in your core.
Off the chair you'll jump, and "Carpe Diem!", you will roar.

Our finale act is one you should not, cannot miss.
This I can ensure, you’ve never seen costumes like this.
You don’t know what to expect till you turn on the rap.
That’s when they shake their cute booties and then vanish like *SNAP*.

Thanks! :)
