The Play

I was cast in the play as a soldier
Everyone groaned because I'm the type of actor
To sit upside down on the couch
And let it all go to my head

And what came to me as I watched the TV screen
Was the grand concept of military strategy
And it felt right to be so expendable
Hanging upside down

When I stood up I was dizzy but honorable
My back was straighter than it had ever been
But I could no longer face the wall
And everyone stared like I was sick

After my performance, they handed me a medal
That I decided felt wrong to wear
I placed it in a suitcase
And have carried it with me ever since
