- In this play A Midsummer Night's Dream,
- I play 3 parts or so it seems,
- A weaver, actor and a donkey,
- Whose head we hope is minimally wonky,
- Friends call me Nick and not to boast,
- But I'm the butter on your toast,
- Which is to say my thespian skills,
- Will cause some tears to well and spill,
- And stir your heart and move you so,
- You'll tell your friends that they must go,
- And see our play, Pyramus and Thisbe,
- A great piece of work writ by our Quincy,
- The costumes shall be quite divine,
- At least the star, which means that mine,
- Shall fit and flatter upon the stage,
- As I both sing and speak with rage,
- And move you with my eloquent speech,
- The kind that your dear heart will reach,
- To where you'll cry,"Let him speak again,"
- Which I shall do my audience friend.
- I thank thee for reading these silly rhymes,
- Come back for more at a later time.
I thank thee for reading these silly rhymes
Nicholas Bottom, Weaver
