This was not part of the script
\nThe actor ended the play
\nTold the audience its over
\nHe is the actor and gets to say.<\/p>\n
The audience are bewildered
\nSome angry: more shocked
\nThe stage hands try the dressing room
\nThe actor has the door blocked.<\/p>\n
Drama in the theatre
\nThe casting agent blames himself for hiring
\nThe promotor is fuming
\nRanting about sueing and firing.<\/p>\n
But few think of the actor
\nThe script, the words he could not handle and such
\nLet us hope for us the stage of the theatre of life
\nDors not prove for us to be too much…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
