(This isn't quite right but here goes . .)

 

Action!

Now there’s a word I’ve longed to say

Let me be a film director just for a day

I’d bathe my sets with natural light

And keep my close ups tight

I’d cast a beautiful girl as my star

and keep her key light bright

She’d be in all my master shots

And I’d fade the soundtrack in soft

Action!

(Dissolve shot of Withington hospital)

It’s the day a child is born

Cut to a close up of the baby boy

Swift dissolve to the tracking shots of growing up

-Infants, junior and comprehensive schools

-Time to learn the rules

Cut to the wedding day; close up of the bride.

-Tracking shots, panning wide

Mix in all those smiling faces

Hold it as long as you can

before we gently fade in

Divorce, new job, new friends

Life changes, following new trends.

No need for special effects

But this guy is getting older

(And we need the make up girl)

Especially for the death scene

(This is going to be awesome on the screen!)

Cue the sad music

Close up of the loved ones tears

-Cut!
