The Giant Bird
Once I acted in a stage play,
In Frinton on the coast.
I loved it all, I really did,
But what I loved the most
Was standing, waiting to go on
Until my cue was heard,
And hover with my actress friend
Who played the giant bird.
She would put her arms around me
And whisper loving things,
While I prepared to go on stage
And waited in the wings.
