The Day That I Starred In The Play

The day that I starred in the play
Was busy and unnerving
I hurried backstage with my costar, Paige
To join the other undeserving
We chatted excitedly about the show
Before going through makeup and hair
Then ran through the lines that we should know
Got into costume and stepped outside to get air
My mother, you should know, was very excited
To hear that I’d gotten a part
She invited the whole family and half of the town
Convinced that this show was a work of art
Upon returning backstage
I exchanged Good lucks with Paige
And we both prepared for the worst
“Just like we rehearsed,” said Mrs. Hearst
And up the curtain flew
I looked out into the audience
And spotted dreadfully reliable Aunt Sue
Surely enough, seated next to her, was also Cousin Drew
You should have seen their faces when I forgot my lines in scene two
