Terry Ireland Poet Rhyme

The Charlie Norton School Performing Arts

At the Charlie Norton School of Performing Arts
They only taught armoured acting parts.
They had a special maintenance man
Always kept busy with his little oil can
Keeping the suits free of fleas
And all the joints moving with ease,
Especially the cunningly concealed vent
For the disposal of excrement
And the removal of noxious gasses 
Which even the refined on occasion passes.
Trying to learn lines could be hell 
When surrounded by your own trapped smell.
In the event of a dearth of suitable parts
They taught other non performing arts
Like sweeping leaves away from drains
In the event of torrential rains.
As this part of the course was free 
It didn’t carry its own degree
But for the elite chosen few 
It could be a unit of your NVQ.
The Charlie Norton School of Performing Arts
Gives your career a powered kick start
