The wasteland stretches aimlessly, a stage of rusted metal and broken dreams. Howls echo through the desolate winds, carrying tales of glory. Here, amongst the tombstones, poets find their voice, bleeding verse onto parchment as black as the sky. Their words are bitter, a mirror to the soul of this forgotten land.

• Aching for rain, they write of skies that weep.
• Seeking solace in the howling wind's lament.
• Their verses a symphony of despair and hope.

McCarthy's Midnight Rhapsody

Imagine a moonlit forest, its silence only broken by the gentle strumming of a harp. This is where McCarthy, a grumpy squirrel with a penchant for classical music, takes his place. He's about to play Beethoven's Ode to Joy, but with a Shel Silverstein twist that'll leave you scratching your head.

He belts out the melody, and instead of Beethoven's elegant composition, we hear a story about a silly snail who fights.

• McCarthy's Moonlight Sonata is not your typical classical music experience.
• It's a whimsical journey filled with unexpected humor and quirky characters.
• Get ready to laugh as McCarthy blends Beethoven with Shel Silverstein magic!
