Just Ask

Got discount tickets for a play –
What seats, we didn’t know;
When we arrived, the usher took us
Right to the front row.

We were so close, we’d have to look
Straight up to see the stage;
The players’ brand of underwear
We probably could gauge.

Our necks would have to be so bent
That after watching actors,
We’d have to leave the theater
And head to the chiropractor’s!

Instead, I asked an usher if
Our seats just might be changed.
She found the manager, who helped
To get it rearranged.

We thoroughly enjoyed the show
And though most seats were filled,
The balcony was comfortable;
Anxieties were stilled.

I looked down at the audience
To those who sat so close,
And felt so glad that to those seats
We gave an adios.

It always pays, when you don’t like
The way some things may go,
To open up your mouth and ask
‘Cause hey – you never know!
