Hopefully on my time area I am not breaking the third posting rule as it is now 02:57.

But I am breaking a repeat on this

Thirty Years


Thirty years I’ve traipsed these boards
The dust still looks the same
I raised my voice in anger
But people were just the same
They came to hear King Harry
Or Richard
Or in Vain
My voice was there
For them
Everytime
I swear it was not the same

Now an old dresser
Keeping my master clean
Fighting with his odd moods
The things that are not seen
I keep him dressed
For every part
And hear his voice anew
As he fight’s his Richard
His back humped and sword threw

But still the dust remains the same
No matter how they sweep it
And still my heart throbs to say
I was MacBeth and beat it

Thanks

I've written more versions of this than I care to remember and went back to the first.

Many thanks

~ Fabulous ending! ~ and I liked what came before it as well!

I write I suppose on anything

It is nice to know someone actually shared what I thought at one time was just my nonsense
