(a famous actor from the stage and screen)

May we be blessed that our regrets
never take the place of our dreams....

My boss believed he should be on the stage,
And each morning he’d act out on his rage.
If you’d complain or curse,
It made it that much worse,
Until they hauled him away in a cage....

My Moment of Soredom by James Barrymore

When I play soccer its pure perfection
I fake them out and change direction

I put the ball between his legs 
I hear my teammate yell out meg

I’m getting close to their net
The winning goal I’m sure I’ll get

My leg is back to score a goal
But I missed the ball and broke my toe...

An anagram of Drew Barrymore
‘Merry Wardrobe’ of this I am sure
But with fortune and fame
Some kids get a daft name
‘Grimes’ baby may get issues galore
 
X AE A-Xii is his name
It reminds me of a PC game
The poor little mite
Is in the spotlight
His parents can’t have any shame

Grimes and Elon Musk’s baby is called ‘X AE A-Xii’ - pronounced
 X Ash A Twelve.

There’s not much space 
I can’t go far

Zig Zag Zoom
Here I dribble the mini ball
Around the table off the wall
I bounced it off my brother’s butt
I’m driving both my parents nuts

Zig Zag Zoom
My brother chased me up the stairs
I tried to hide behind a chair
Now he’s pinned me to the floor
I wait til he’s gone, then I dribble some more...
