class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you good<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being censored as normal but okay<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Josie<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She is in Bali<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As her best friend\u2019s wedding<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And you<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am flying out on Saturday<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wow I am sooo jealous<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you still acting<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your play<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is in Donny next week and then Leeds<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you enjoying it<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes and no<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because of the egos<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are too many egos<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you heard of Lesley Goode<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is she that actress in a wheelchair<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well apart from the BBC series she has done a few adverts and played Caliban at the Globe<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You were Miranda<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Josie and I popped along<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joe you silly boy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should have come to see me<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We did not want to intrude<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What did you think of her<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It took me a while to get used to Caliban in a wheelchair<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This said I thought her performance lacked depth<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She was not Caliban to me<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can guess why she was cast<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the same reason that a woman plays Richard the Third<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or Julius Caesar is black<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But do you ever see a white Othello<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They try to disguise it as experimental or broad theatre<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But you know what it is all about<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well dear Las for whatever reason managed to get cast in my play<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which technically is low theatre<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We tour the provinces<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Theatre for the masses<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I like giving something back<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although I am reasonably well known because of that Yorkshire vet series<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am an actress and not a star<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would run away if anybody said that to me<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You would never see me at functions with my tits hanging out<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I do not have any social media accounts<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am by my own choice an invisible actress<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same cannot be said of dear Las<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She has gone the whole hog<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She has an Instagram account and has just believe it or not taken part in a naked photo shoot sponsored by some cosmetics company<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think I will give that a miss<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whilst I do not mind nudity in what I do<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My Miranda would have not been the same<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If I had not revealed myself<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I missed that part Maude<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Liar<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was in the bar<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The worst thing is that Las it not alone as Eileen Parker who is a double amputee is there along with Cherry Baker<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is she that girl with Downs Syndrome <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes she is a sweet girl unlike Las but does not realise she is being used rather like the grossly fat women in earlier shoots<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I will keep my head low then<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Las was only cast in my play as the sponsors put pressure on Doug<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They wanted to be seen as being inclusive but the girl has been miscast<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It has all gone to her head and she is chasing that cause and this cause<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Climate race all the gay stuff and obviously the Middle East<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They have no idea of the history of the conflicts<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have been approached by my old university because of who I am<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But I declined which was not well received<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My thoughts are my own and I would imagine that they are knowing you Joe quite similar to the way that you look at things<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Too many actors get involved in these leftie causes without realising that they are being used<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Las in my view is not that good as an actress she lacks depth and understanding and overplays her disability which is sad<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would like to think that in five years that I will be still acting somewhere but this said I will not betray myself<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You are my kind of actress Maude<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The type of actress who you see on the tube<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ordinary just ordinary<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I try to be that<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you ever get asked for autographs<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Occasionally<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Selfies<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once or twice<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But although I am super nice truthfully I am very uncomfortable<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who am I<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am no better than them<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is just because I am an actor<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you had a stalker yet<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But I have placed an ad in The Times<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should apply<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only if you get me chucked inside<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I will be able to write my prison diaries<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joe I need a hug<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please do not be a stranger when you return<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You and Josie must pop down to see me<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are both travelling in different ways<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But time has the right to stand still<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Always the poet<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes when I am not banned<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You are only banned because you tell the truth<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You write without borders<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your work is never dull<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is forever evolving<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It changes without one noticing the change<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Time for a coffee<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I know a darling little place near St P<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Would John have approved<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would imagine so<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then I am your date until my afternoon
