The Actor Factor

If I were an actor on the big screen

With the cameras on me in every scene

I'd race for NASCAR on any old day

Date a couple starlets along the way 

I could be Rhett to Scarlett O'Hara

Maybe I'd co-star with Rooney Mara

I'd be Maverick streaking across the skies

Or start a fight with ten blueberry pies

I could rob some banks with Bonnie and Clyde

Hang with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

I might act like Steve Martin in the Jerk

Battle Klingons with Captain James T. Kirk 

Sail today on a Spanish flotilla

Or run away from Kong and Godzilla

I'd rule Mr. Robinson's neighborhood

Anything's possible in Hollywood

Hello Randy, What a delightful romp through the endless possibilities of the silver screen. Each line brims with energy and imagination, whisking me, the reader, away on a whirlwind adventure through iconic characters and settings. I loved your playful rhymes and references to the magic of Hollywood. It's a testament to the boundless creativity that thrives in the world of acting. A very delightful ode to the silver screen—it's a joy to read! - Blessings, Daniel
