Life's Improbable Drama
Life's plot is an improbable, dramatic proposition.
It is largely fortuitous
in a chance composition.
Written scripts are preposterous as they're read in audition.
There is no cunning rehearsal
for rendering tradition.
The screenplay is satirical with sharp wit and irony.
Human follies are depicted
with a caustic comedy.
Histrionic affectations are portrayed in daily scenes.
Sometimes concocted pretensions
are displayed in the routines.
Amphitheater arenas are the place of spectacles.
The complete cast of characters
are here acting out their roles.
Life's plot is sometimes escapade, fiasco or travesty.
It is broadly gratuitous
and comes with no guaranty.
