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
