I Am An Actor
I am an actor, living an unending play..
Where people come and people move on.
Where I actually have a say.
Sometimes I'm the Husband with a wonderful wife.
Sometimes it's good, more often it's poo.
That's why we mostly fight.
Sometimes I'm the Boss. When she needs a stand-in.
Sometimes I'm the best, til' I start to stress
and she wants to play man again.
Lately lifes been crazy and I think I know why.
It's not what it seems. I want Ice Cream!
Lately I've been on a diet.
Lately I play Daddy. like the good ones on TV.
But then no ones been home and I'm all alone.
Lately this job has been easy.
Tomorrow I'll play a Gardener, mowing away the grass.
If the engine will start and I still want the part????
I might just let that one pass.
I am an actor, living the american dream
Where all by myself and without any help.
I am practicing showing restraint.
