Out of Focus Poem by Lin Blyth

 Out of Focus

…. End of Story!

And now our drama’s at an end

And so our leave we’ll take.

We made the time to hang around

And bake a tasty cake – for the party.

Front of house sold lots of seats

We really have some dears;

Wayne and Linda cuddled up,

Leonard bored us all to tears.

The happy couple, Dave and Sue

Have found true love at last.

Helen spits feathers and can’t believe

Her courting days are past.

Bob and Kath are friends again

Despite his roving eye;

Evonne’s still nervous as can be

And Donal’s still quite sly.

Sue the prompt and Sue the props

Have packed up all their bags;

Marj’rie our brave director

Sighs and groans and nags.

She did her best – and we did too

To bring the script alive;

Perhaps another week or two

Or three or four or five

Would help us all to learn our lines

And bring us to full peak.

Although perhaps we’ve had enough

To last us all, this week.

And so we’ll leave you with a song

To send you on your way.

Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag

Until another day – next year!

Lin Blyth (aka Kath)
