the world is a stage

everyone's an actor 

cause the whole world is a stage. 

however small, we all have parts 

in life's unending play. 

The producer lost the script

the directors MIA

you missed the first rehersal 

for the opening ballet 

You stumble and you fumble 

cause you never learned your songs 

and your face turns cherry red 

cause you got the notes all wrong 

And the other actors chortle 

some may tell you its okay 

"I was clumsy too, 

when i was young", they wisely say.

So now you vow to write scenes 

and rehearse till you turn blue

but when you look up from your writing 

they've moved on to something new 

So you race to catch the others 

cause you know your far behind 

and you've missed your chance to show them 

how much you truely shine 

So you snap your pencil in half 

and adopt a sadly glow 

you know you can't prepare your sceans 

cause it's now an improv show.
