Marc O'Brien Poet Rhyme

The Statement and Stage Presentation

Did you hear about the time the Doc was on the clock? 
Apparently an actor took a shot 
At the President who was enjoying the theater in a special spot 
Being popular knowing the right team had won 
Waiting for revenge carrying a smoking gun 
This stage performer 
Made the country stop everything to be mourners 
Got his way when the civil war leader was in the corner 
Unlike the President who took it in the head 
Theatrically this toy fled 
Since he was not dead 
A farmhouse destination he did run 
Looking desperately for a fan to help him after what he had done  
And the Doc let him in 
To tend to his sin 
With a scream and shout 
His trained vocals let it out 
Biting the bullet once again 
Due to anger he could not defend 
Today honest Abe sits in a marble cast 
Reminding us of our checkered past 
Next time when you are sitting in a diner’s booth 
Feeling like you want to hit the roof 
Remember hitting and running is the way of the game 
While scoring a goal brings fame not shame 
Playing fair 
Makes people care 
And they will come back to be there 
Nice partners clapping the activity production they both share 
A choreographed athletic entertaining love affair
