The Usher

A Broadway play, a matinee,

Two seats right on the aisle.

The highest row, but even so,

We both left with a smile.

 

The show was sad, yet we were glad

For every great performer

Was new to us and, as a plus,

What made us feel much warmer

 

Was meeting John, a paragon

Among all theater ushers.

He made us laugh, unlike some staff

Who only act as shushers.

 

It’s kind of rare to really share

An unforeseen connection,

But our good luck relied on pluck

And also, seat selection!
