Listen to poem:

by the sea on shore
birds squawk squabble and jostle
feathered typecast kin...

to the passengers on board
catastrophe typecast...

an actor he was typecast

a soldier hit by a blast

but as of today

he's out mowing hay

farming a dramatic past.

Afraid to ask
Afraid to cast
Afraid to hear
Afraid of jeer

Fear is delaying truth
Fear is growing from youth
Fear is reliving the past
Fear is irrational typecast

Asking diffuses fear
Talking reduces veering
Trying clears fear
Chose to steer

Aquarium realms
of anointed fools
masquerade as sensibility

Typecast foolscap
tired typewriters ribbons
don't have a prolonged head

Between the streets
where the drunkard
spins his tales

A strange panacea
scattered snakes
launch ta ta  tee

Oh sang the Sea goat
his change as constant as the tide
strangely sympathising
the endless wave...

This is western society,
How much is distorted realism?
Talk in sinister sexism,
Casually call criticism,
Typecast fashion femmes,
What about men?
High heels or no,
They'll call you a ho!
You can't blame women,
For control mechanisms!
Emotional blackmail, 
A world run by males,
We should empower the young,
For their lives in the sun,
When was misogyny begun?
Any real chance of equality,
in our western society?...

I portrayed the knave of hearts again,
A role it would seem I was made for.
I ventured off script and silenced my critics
By drinking them under the table.

Classically trained in the tavern arts,
I’m a boozy, bibulous sot.
A virtuoso of chugging a tankard,
A maestro of downing a shot.

I've been typecast as a barfly.
It's the same old morality play.
I’ll adlib my lines to upstage the lead,
And be star of this grim cabaret....
