Stage Fright

 Turn the doorknob left or right,

I wonder should I tug or lean –

The window tells me day or night

The music for me sets the scene,

Other actors know their lines

It is quite rare they miss their mark –

Someone didn’t move the chair

I stumble blindly in the dark,

A muffled chuckle from the crowd

Then lively laughter fills the air

Houselights on, so all can see

This clumsy actor laying there.
