What I'd Do


 

It's dangerous, y'know,

 

To live your dreams,

To just get up and go.

 

I could do something smart.

Be a teacher, or major in business,

In the ladder of succes take part.

 

But I don't want to.

 

I dream of brightly lit stages at night,

Of make up and stages

And the camera's flashing light.

 

I hope for a chance

To do what I love,

But will they give me a second glance?

 

I want to act,

Broadway, or Hollywood, or even the Globe,

No matter how high the odds are stacked.

I love all of God's creatures. I just like some of them better stuffed.
