A Terrible Mime

I would not be a great mime

Because to portray emotions 

You need to understand them

You need to see them around

And then learn to wear them

 like sleeves for a petticoat

Next you need to waste your

 hard earned work and act it.

 You will then exaggerate and

 contort yourself because you 

     Must portray them 

                                       Terribly.
