When I Grow Up

I want to be an Actor, My shyness has hampered me thus far My Credentials however are worth looking at a STAR To this day I remember my lines in the 6th Grade Play “King Lear” “LOOK!! There He is now." For those of YOU who are not Actors Please; It’s not as easy as it Looks, for instance it took nine weeks To Perfect the Emotion it took to convey this simple Line Take One : “LOOK THERE!! He is now, teacher ask What is Now Take Two : “LOOK!! There he is, NOW, teacher “Is the Castle in shambles” Take Three : look there HE IS now, teacher “What was he before So when the day comes that a Great Producer picks up that 6th grade Program I will speak my POETRY to YOU on the Silver Screen, no, Autographs until The Sequel

I remember what I had to learn in first grade...It was a song...I sang my lines so I guess I could star in a musical when the time is right..Keep the creative pen flowing. Sara
