Question
plasmid
The story's taken off the shelf
It's time to perform, so I'm on it
My stomach twists upon itself
So dizzying, maybe I'll vomit
The spotlight's on, my shadow's cast
A message to those now assembled
Some warm-up gags I rush through fast
(Sure hoping I haven't now trembled)
And then in earnest start my act
Perfection without any flaws
The crowd, they didn't much react
I drew not a clap of applause
What's more, I hear I've gotten tapped
I stop in my tracks and I'm spewing
My job's not lost, though; I'm not scrapped
Thank God, this is not my undoing
