Frustrated Actor Slam

I studied to be an actor

And after graduating

Auditioned for everything

Yet couldn't even land a bit part

But as of yesterday

I am officially the back end

Of Donkey ass in a local production

Of Shrek doth Shakespeare

I guess this what they mean
when they say starting at the bottom

Or maybe this is sign that i have chosen the wrong career path

And that my vocation is not rooted
in the arts

so clever. You got to love Bottom in Midsummer Night's Dream. The wrong career path cracks me up, pardon the pun. Very cleverly constructed this poem and if you are, fantastic...you'll have to post the video from the play. What a star...and might I add no typos, or spelling errors. ;) cool poem. x
