WAITING

 

Waiting through the overture

I was waiting for act one to begin

Waiting for the curtain rising

And the Players to come and enter in

 

And there on the stage              

As the house lights dimmed  

Sittig there all forlorn

Was the lovely heroine

Pining the while

With a sad soliloquy

Telling of forbidden love

That never was to be

 

Held there as the ward

A captive

Of the cruel Duke Duprey       

Without honour

This man was known            

For his depravity                                 

Whatever could be done?           

To ever set her free

 

Now I’m waiting for the curtain

And the final act to play

Certain that our hero

Would come and save the day

HOORAY!

He swung through the window

Duprey’s men blocked the way

Too many swords, cut and overpowered him

‘Till at her feet he lay

 

She leapt from her window

And ended it that way

And so, the curtains slowly fall

And I’m waiting once again

Just waiting for a curtain call

To see her again.
