acting

I stood up quickly
And just as fast
Wished I was sitting down
Cuz everyone was looking my way
With a concentrated frown.
One sympathetic creature
Urged me to proceed
So I lifted my script
And holding it before my eyes
I began to scream.
I wondered why I'd ever started
But it was too late to go back.
As everyone covered their ears
I thought, "What the heck!"
I was sweating
When I sat back down
And yet he looked at me
Over his fierce mustache
"That wasn't big enough."
He said.
