The Old Theater Company

Playing the part of Perchik,

back when I was free spirited,

when anything was possible.

I’m glad she came to see me in the musical,

for she was like a golden ray,

with wisdom radiating through and through.

I also acted the part of an old man hobbling,

and I remember how much I loved to sing that love song,

because, with that theater troupe, it felt like I really did belong.

Will I ever go back again?

They’ve changed and grown, and I’m not so happy and carefree,

and I don’t know if they’d even care to be with me.
