..................................................................................fr...............................page10 from Thoughts of an Optimist Performing With Spare Tyre - 2001 by Norah Platt Pre Performance I'd like to say "I thank you" for all the friends I've made Between ourselves I never thought I would make the grade So I'll listen for my cue, be ready when it's due I'll speak slowly and clearly, the best that I can do I only hope I don't let you down So I'll try and keep my crown So all the very best to us We are as good as we can be As it's my very first effort I must look quite free Just realised the day has come My nerve is going too I hope that I don't freeze up That is not the thing to do ........HELP! Looking Back After the Performance We gave a very good show About Life in the Fifties Funny how much we know Different things we used to wear And things we dared to do The show gave much enjoyment At least that is my view So again, we thank you ©  Norah Platt Estate Details of the First Annual Norah Platt Prize for Poetry Sponsored by the Diorama Arts Centre
