Sonnet 7

We love the actor on the silver screen
And worship him who plies his craft so well.
It matters not his melancholy spleen,
While on himself he tends too long to dwell.

Quite often is the mighty man obsessed
And thrilled to see his image in the glass,
While prancing round and quite absurdly dressed,
Content to play the fool or courtly ass.

But if we spent more time on those we love
And praise them for the little things they do.
Instead of pulling out the boxing glove;
Content to know their motives were but true.

Then we could live our lives in sweet content.
No need our mortal ego to augment.
