Old Man Jenkins
My grandson loves being on stage
And with characters he does engage.
In his middle school show
He let everyone know,
By his actions, he was of old age.
Old Man Jenkins* was his latest part
And he nailed it from right at the start.
With a walker he moved,
Stooped and slowly, and proved
Comic instincts will set him apart.
For he stayed very true to his role,
Which, of course, is an actor’s real goal.
Though he wasn’t the lead
I think he did succeed
To win praise in the spotlight he stole.
*from “Sponge Bob, the Musical”
