One Job


My dream job is strange

No, just not all that common

It’s fascinating

That anyone would do this

That one would love doing this

 

Stage Managing is

One of the hardest jobs in

The theatre and

Yet one of the most worthwhile

In the corrupted business

 

Loved is tricky

With this job it’s cruel sometimes

Your friends aren’t your friends

They are your cast and your crew

They are the final product

 

Only a degree

And stolen words will help me

But infinity

And beyond is not far off

When one has money as help

 

No it’s not the most

Altruistic job ever

But I adore it

And the only thing standing

In my way is just the bill
