I want to be someone mysterious
A point of surprise
Being understood but yet wise
Perhaps being rich and spreading the wealth
I don’t want to be like everybody else
But a real dramatic role
Having scripting lines being the best ever told
Eyes with tears in confronting my fears
I was told I don’t have much time to live
My dramatic role would be everything that I would give
Maybe keep the audience laughing
The kitchen with an oven with its own surprise
A Seven Layer cake that was supposed to rise
Yet it just disappeared in the audience eyes
No matter how much frosting would be put on
The cake was more like a pancake for the morning yond
But I would let the audience respond
The killer in the room with a gun
I would become the **** Tracy Investigator checking clues among
I probably would be more like Angela Langsbury from ****** She Wrote with examining the clues with full run
My dramatic experience, stand for freedom
Having dignity and pride
I stand for all in where I preside
Well those are some of the roles I could possibly play
As the curtain goes down, I have taken my bow
That’s all the time that will allow.
