In Hollywood

In Hollywood

A Poem by William Coad
"

This is actually a song too!!! If you want to learn how to play it I have more musical information on my blog: http://williamcoad.wordpress.com/2014/08/06/poem-in-hollywood/

"

I made this thing,

and it took so long,

I wrote the words

and I played the song-


I made sure the tune

held it's part

and the thing felt

was there from the start.


And soon now

It'll be out there

the world will see me

they'll finally care


And I'll be in Hollywood.

One day we'll all be in Hollywood.


Prancing up and down

with Tykwer and Chris Brown.

We'll be guzzling down

the toast of the town.

One day we'll be in Hollywood.


It didn't go

exactly as I planned

I still don't hold

the world within my hand.


Though my first three

films were a bust,

I'm sure this next one

will be robust.


And you my friend,

will come with me

We'll make it there

Just wait and see.


We'll all be in Hollywood.

The very place that we should.


Marching all day

With Tom Cruise and Fay Ray

We'll be buttering bread

with the lives that we've led...

One day we'll be in Hollywood.


Like the last one,

it didn't go as planned.

My best cameraman

left my team undermanned.


He fell off the cliff side

riding his bike.

Two days later they found

his body on a hike.


So this new films for him now,

come on and gather around.

Let's sing a hymn for him now

Let the majesty abound.


'Cause now he's in Hollywood.

Yes, tonight it's Hollywood.


He made it there

with Spielberg and Fred Astaire.

He's a star tonight

in the sky so bright.

One day we'll be in Hollywood.
