The Absurd of the Theatre

The actor playing Lucky feels that Pozzo hogs the show.
The one who’s cast as Vladimir has a bunion on his toe.
Estragon has kidney stones, now the actor thinks they’re real.
Gogo eyes the turnips; the performer missed a meal.

The audience sits dumbfounded, watching nothing happen twice.
Those hanging-ropes that are too short: why not make a splice?
Mon Dieu ! Godot, please, come — and put an end to this!
Beckett says, “This is Godot. You’ve taken it all amiss.”
