Here is one who hasn't stopped crying for days..

The one he loved the most has left him and gone away? for good.
Then, he is not getting any younger. In fact- he is old.
But more than anything else, he is depressed because he has been
forced to perform this play.
He wasn't supposed to play it tonight but circumstances have forced him
to do this play about a king and his daughters..
written by, what's his name- the great English writer,
you know, bald.. bearded- who says "thee-thou-thy", you know..
That guy, whats-his-name, "the show must go on.." guy;
You know, the 16th century English writer.. oh well.
And now he is stuck;
this clown, who has enough problems of his own,
who can't even remember the playwright's nameNow he is in a spot. He must perform.
