My eyes and stress
Aren’t doing so well
The limitations come up shorter
Than they used to
It doesn’t take as long to
Make the fence
The metal one
The metal fence with metal signs
About trespassing
Access or the lack thereof
x
On the other side
Is twenty-twenty
And easier living
The kind that happens in
A Gershwin summer
Though maybe
That’s not so easy, after all
Prejudices
Production values and the process,
Overall
Whatever money and material
Involved

My dad has a barn
My mom can make costumes
Come on, gang,
Let’s have a show
Easy times
And black and white
Because so much youth was involved
Thank you, Rooney
Thank you, Garland
x
Thank you for who made the barn
And wrote the music
We’ll find the instruments
Keep practicing
I hear the backer might
Show up anytime now
For a matinee
Or evening show,
x
Which is good
Because the talent
And the crews
And the producers might be
Getting tired
