Shushed to Hush Up
Do you remember the first time,
You were shushed to hush up?
To be followed by a sssshhhh!
Were you livid?
Did your eyes open wide?
I know my eyebrows must have arched,
Beyond my furrowed brow!
Looking as if I had a mask on.
And portraying the 'Joker' from Batman.
Overdressed but ready for Halloween.
'Who are 'you' to shush me with a sssshhh? '
Of course none of this makes sense.
Aren't we all adults.
Or pretend we do something that is intended,
And meant?
And not to be shushed...
In public!
That's embarrassing.
Especially when it comes from one of the actors,
Delivering lines spoken on the opening night...
Of a live theater production!
'Okay.Okay.Okay...
I get it!
You do 'MacBeth' and I'll do 'me'!
Do we agree?
I'm gonna get my money's worth at these prices!
Go ahead...
Don't let me disturb you.
And I don't know why you're staring at me?
I know my lines! '
