Life Is Animation

Make-up on dressed for work
We all become life’s animation
Soldier’s firefighters Doctors and Nurses
Dressing up so all can see

Costumes like Halloween
Trick or treat money we receive
Television mimics this play we are all in 
They call it; action on the set

We watch others playing our parts on TV  
Enjoying what we do everyday
Yet they get academy awards
We get to pay the cable bill

They become famous we just go to work
They make millions for acting our part
We get minim wage
The real Heroes of Television are:

You!

Such an interesting take on the actors' roles on TV. Never thought of things this way. Much food for thought here, Bobby! ~ Munching away...

I have seen them get these academy awards and who votes to give to them, themselves we should be the ones with the vote. Thank you Greshon!!
