A Fool's Part to Play 2019 The performances aren't exactly sold-out Now, in his near-dotage, but the richness Of a demanding character's truest essence Can, finally, be portrayed with confidence. As I recollect, the understudy was the Fool's grandest emulator, both on and Off the stage. Either wearing a kimono Or a Saville Row, herringbone suit, it Was always the same play to him. He Simply lay in wait in the wings, night After night, for a chance to play a part. But the fool had endurance. He never Failed to make a fool of himself on cue. He never missed a performance, due to His love of curtain calls and applause. And encores by audience demand gave His spirit's tedium, the lift it craved. Performances past are now well beyond Number, but the footlights still call. Is it The actor in all of us, or was the fool cast So perfectly, as no other ever had been? Greasepaint now finds deep crevasses in Which to linger, but still, the fool carries On, as though faux youth's handsomest Efforts at nobility could ever infuse the Tired, old script with some new, possibly Moral sense. He really is a fool, isn't he? (c) Copyright Protections Claimed by Author, Jonhal Fabian Keyser- Reads 3
