Performance
by Duncan Jones
My heart was like a beating drum
A herd of buffalo in my tum'.
My head was banging, clanging, whanging.
Goose bumps like mole hills on my neck.
Doubt like a pterodactyl's peck.
My toes were twitching, itching, gritching.
I had to walk out on that stage.
Like one against a dragon's rage.
A sea of eyes all waiting, watching, watching.
Heart jumping like a kangaroo.
Would I remember what to do?
Then on..
It's as if I am
a little flea.
Staring right down
and watching me.
Then hearing cheering, cheering, cheering.
My chest is puffing out with pride
As if I've swallowed up Strathclyde
My head is grinning, spinning, zinging.
My mind is doing summersaults.
I am up as high as astronauts.
My eyes are gleaming, streaming, dreaming.
