7861. ALL THIS UPLIFT IS MAKING ME TRAGIC

ALL THIS UPLIFT IS 
MAKING ME TRAGIC
Playing Hamlet in some small-school 
play, boy that's enough to bring on 
the blues. Every other word is wrong 
and everyone is overdoing. The folks
who think they're British aren't, and
the ones who at royalty, neither are
they. There's only a ghost of a 
chance for this stolen play.
-
They all clap, nonetheless. It's a way
of valdifying for themselves that 
twenty-five dollars they shelled out 
for the ticket. Can't sit silent when
you're paying for the chair.
