Show Must Go On

H e went on stage,
Be quiet a little,
He said,
But this King Lear, *
This is a tragedy,
It is impossible without shouting,
I have been in this kitchen for years,
The curtains,
Open and close,
My mice are disturbed, he shouted,
From your shouts and applause,
For they too,
Albeit small,
Have a house now,
In these rusty walls,
He said and went,
Not even a little break,
The show continued...
