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.
