Verte Fe Cabaret: Horrible Willy
September 2018. Elizabeth Leonard as narrator. Cady Horrible Walrus, Victoria Timoteo and Ariel Ryan as puppeteers. Puppets made by Elizabeth Leonard.
Horrible Willy poems were popular around the turn of the 20th century. People would write them and submit them to their local newspapers. A lovely repository of them can be found here: http://ruthlessrhymes.com/category/li...
I was introduced to Horrible Willy as a kid in one of my children's books of poetry. I wish I could remember the title. It also contained Little Orphan Annie and The Presbyterian Cat. So many dark little gems!
