There must be a very narrow line
Between truth and artifice
And actors must often wonder
'What emotion is this?'
If one spends ones whole life acting
When it comes to being sincere
The partner of an actor
Must think 'What's this I hear?'
Actors aim to excite, amuse
And, in other ways, entertain;
They can act as cold or sad or moved;
They can even act insane!
So if one looks into your eyes
And speaks as from the heart,
A little voice will whisper
'Is he just playing a part?'

NATURE LESSON
(A poem for children)
Ducks and turtles and little frogs
Swim around the rocks and logs,
They have all got special feet;
Their swimming gear is very neat.
They have webs between their toes,
That's the way a duck's foot grows.
Human feet are nice and pink
But not as good as ours, I think.
Our webbed feet are what I'd choose!
You'd better go and find your shoes!
