A Poetic Happy Media Um
What I never say is
Should be a question on a game show quiz
Did I tell you about the time
Standing in line
Only to find myself most likely declined
Since I did not have the right look
Wanted in the casting book
What I never say is
Should be a question on an audition quiz
There was a reason for all that
Thinking about it where I sat
Dealing with a mentality of a rat
Looking for cheese
Forgetting words thank you and please
What I never say is
This is ‘show biz’
Not seeing any fizz
Loading on a dock
Or industrial block
Only machines going by
Telling a story to make the audience laugh or cry
Using facades having no backing
Issue visual talent do the attacking
Light's camera action
This will be some attraction
Inside a studio owned military hanger ever so cold
Praying production does not fold
Keeping things cool
Asking themselves ‘are they really the fool?’
Swimming in the on-air placement pool
Winners in the interview contest
Thinking they are the best
Looking into a recording device
Having a presentation honest and nice
Enjoying their wedding rice
After being on a roll with the dice
Finding a special day
Romancing on the bay
When opportunity knocked
Timed well just like setting the clock
What I would say was
Those photogenic people do make the buzz
Honeybees in a twenty-four-hour perpetual hive
Keeping us feeling alive
