The story of 2nd April in a poem
"A Midsummer's Night Dream"
Eugene Koh
The actors at school, 5 minutes after 7,
The props were put up, the make-up nearly done,
Actors practise! Practise your lines!
Make sure today is the best of our time!
The actors outside the stage, in the dressing rooms,
Practise and more practise did they do.
More power! More voice!
Let's stun the audience with our wonderful choice!
The stage is set, the play's begun,
The actors ran their lines one by one,
No slips, no corpsing,
Tis' great, the work of a few centuries.
Shakespeare should have smiled in his grave.
