"I hope you've enjoyed our behind-the-scenes look at comic strip theater." "Now, it's time for that all-important curtain call!" "Grocery store tomatoes!!"
Look, I admit to a little jealousy. After all, they are Stars. On stage, or in life, they tend to shine.
But! Someone has to pull the curtains. There is loneliness in standing on the side, waiting for the signals to open and close , lift and lower, depending on the type of curtains involved.
Sometimes I have to do a bit of jogging because the open/close and lift/lower curtain controls are not close together.
So, in my solitude, I applaud those who go on the stage, having memorized their lines, to entertain the audience.
Sometimes, it seems like an eternity between the moments I am able to converse with anyone. Draining a marsh would be a job that had more interaction with people.
Oh, I beg your pardon – am I boring you? You, who want to go out and strut about, soaking in the adulation?
Well, where would you be without me? Strutting through fabric, thats where!
Let me tell you, opening and closing, lifting and lowering is tough – those curtains weigh a ton.
Oops, there is your cue – out you go! Just wait while I open the curtains.
