playing Puck
in the school play
midsummer night’s dream
all of twelve-thirteen
they had the jerkin
shirt feather hat
the greasepaint
but could I supply
the brown tights please?
I guess now as gesture
of commitment
so I asked them at home
for these
& they gave me summer tan
pantyhose
so out I went
on my toadstool
broadcasting my lines
in summer tan pantyhose
giving it all my all
this youthful comely sprite
in tights
ignoring the crowd jeers
if you please
