ROLE

 

My Grandfather Joe was a watchmaker

And, by all accounts, quite skilled at it but

Since he died has taken all sorts of jobs

Just to keep his hand in. His latest role

Was an unspeaking part in a poem

Set in a restaurant kitchen. He auditioned

For the parts of the cat and the grease-fire

But was given a bent spoon and cast

As a mustached cook with a bandana.
