Star

She longed to wow 'em on the stage,
but cannot sing in key/in tune;
attempts to hit the highest notes,
like werewolves howling at the moon.
She tried to play the violin...
the keyboard...drums...for many years.
Instead of clapping, people frown
and put their fingers in their ears.
But now she's sure to be a star -
just watch her play the air guitar!
