A stage show
for a short run - -
slow or sudden end
equalizes the rich and the poor
a man and a woman- -
misadventures occur and fail
the scripture uttered the span tale - -
elderly ones or too ripe old
dying fellows make prayers bold- -
for longer stay; stage show
very few do call the end
embrace it on a courtesy bow - -
