Ambition is to play the Cello
Becoming a most talented fellow
Cellists make such sumptuous sounds
Delighting audiences the whole world round
Encouragement to take up lessons
From former cellist Hubert Hasbeen
Grimacing when he hears me play
Hasbeen lasted a week and a day
I was downhearted ~ I began to cry
Just...

Waves from the past at last hit me,

I am not a Slave.
I am not your slave.
I am not for Sale.
I am not an object 
Not to be bought as you please.
Not to be used as you please.

I am a human being.
Superior to you as, 
I am no Slavemaster.
Superior to you as,
I know...

I hear once more the lyrics of this song I'm listening to-
a gentle blast from my very youthful past,
and I am back in middle school,
an attractive skinny girl 
despite the horn rimmed glasses
which have gotten me the nickname of “Four eyes”
and the large beehive hairdo...

With tears in my eyes and their chanting in my ears I have to ask myself once again why?

Why? And for what reason must we still
Fight for equality?. 
Why must we fight to be heard?.
Why must we...

Auditioned sleepless nights, varied embattled cries
A myriad of tears, from her baby boy’s eyes
A kind and caring soul, a gracious golden heart
As I watched my mother die, my world was torn apart

Another storm to weather, strong winds and pounding rain
A tortuous raging cancer, extensive heartache...

Lisa's vodka voice
calls from outside,
later than late, when
the stars have shut down 
for the night, refusing 
boozer-sight that prevents 
one from tripping.

Screech owl's search light,
a Full-Sturgeon moon,
is still much too dark, if inebriated
to distinguish which cement walls 
are most likely to attack.

Two eves past, her...

I had lately been in the career doldrums, for I was an aspiring, eager actress,
Like lavish summer blossoming rampantly, in wild, passionate distractedness.

I'd enjoyed a few triumphant successes, still, they were few and far between,
Like violet nights of shooting stars, as you wonder where that...

Always something
You will be forever changing me
Forever doing something
I forget about making you doing nothing
Actually I gave up haha
You will be forever being a busybody
Getting into everybody's business
But it's your job, isn't it?
I am not officially auditioned for your job
So I will let you be
So...

Jack and Oliver were identical twins,
born way out there in Nebraska’s Sand Hills,
from the beginning everybody said Jack
was possessed of a remarkable will.

They said his small town would not contain him,
the country life was too small and too spare,
Jack would make a splash wherever he...

The lead role was in many a wishing female heart.
Numerous young actresses auditioned for the part

Marriage in 4 Acts

I've auditioned for parts for years.
Some call them first dates, but make
no mistake, each is acting for the other
hoping for a part in their life play.

I'm a perfect gentleman, holding doors,
helping you on and off with your coat
and pushing your chair in...

I studied to be an actor

And after graduating

Auditioned for everything

Yet couldn't even land a bit part

But as of yesterday

I am officially the back end

Of Donkey ass in a local production

Of Shrek doth Shakespeare

I guess this what they mean
when they say starting at the bottom

Or maybe...
