She stood at the microphone
Started to sing her song
But her performance
Didn't last long
Sorry she said
Ive got the wrong tune
Only just learning it
Maybe tried it too soon.
Squinted at her words
Said forgotten my glasses
Shuffled her papers
And so more time passes.
Started another song
Couldn't recall the words
Just now it's getting
Just a bit absurd.
I've never ever seen her
Really truly perform;
For this young lady
This is just the norm.
I make a quiet bid
For the nearest door
To slip into the Gents.
I've seen it all before
