Poetry Challenge Day 16: The Play

THE PLAY

I had a play

today.

The play was called The Bakers Plot.

And I played a boys puppy’s robot.

I got to school with my costume on,

though I need my makeup done.

After the silver face paint.

I went backstage and felt faint.

I peeked out,

hundreds of adults and kids screaming about.

As the curtains opened I said my lines,

that I practiced millions of times.

The show went smoothly and I started erasing every doubt,

at the end of the show I said “Now that’s what I’m talking about”
