I get me there
While seats are good.
The wait is long;
The seat is wood.
All is serene;
The view is clear-
I shouldn’t miss
A thing from here…
The action starts:
The show is on.
The mob has moved:
The view is gone.
I change my seat;
I’ll try again…
The mob decides
To stand up then.
I sit back, sigh
In blind submission,
And see again!–
(It’s intermission).
To this conclusion
I am led:
The show was fine-
Somebody said.
