Amateur Dramatics I take a breath in, Feel my lungs fill with air. "Don't worry darling, I'm just over there." It's hard to bear this, This feeling of dread. I yawn, eyes well, Tired from tossing in bed. "Take the spot over there, Just there centre stage, So you can see everyone And their reaction gauge." The curtain rises up, I really need mum, I shudder slightly, When will bravery come? I fear never and I, will always be this way. And hope I'll be ill For the next school play!

You're Off To Great Places "Step with great care and great tact and remember that #life's a Great Balancing Act. Just never forget to be dexterous and deft. And never mix up your right foot with your left. And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! (98 and 3/4 per cent guaranteed.) KID YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS! So..... be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O'Shea, you're off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So... GET ON YOUR WAY!" ----- -----Dr Seuss----------
