Rafe Spall: His Story Poem by Paula Glynn

Being the birthday boy on 10th March 1983
London welcomed Rafe Joseph Spall by the powers that be
At 12 Dunstan's Road in London: a legend born
Name inspired by the protagonist in
The Night of The Burning Pestle, the acting life sworn
Father Timothy Spall having rightfully starred in
The Royal Shakespeare Company pleased with his performance.

Sadly doing badly at school with poor grades
Rafe would leave Haberdashers' Aske's Hatcham College
And join National Youth Theatre at 15 years old
Acting a career on which Rafe was sold
Despite being overweight but yet losing weight
People's insults awful to perpetually take
But soon all to receive praise for his ongoing acting work.

Succeeding in gaining roles in movies Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
Cast as character Eli Mills: Sir Benjamin Lockwood's assistant
Rafe adding life to an essentially evil character but adding charm
Also starring in the popular Apple TV series Trying
Where a couple want their own children the audience left crying
Rafe's character again brought to life in the comedy show
Where he does love his fictional and real-life wife: the same person.

Starring in Life of Pi, The BFG, Men in Black: International
And with many other genius films
Rafe to cheerfully promote his work in TV interviews
The audience loving his real-life persona
And his incredible good looks: both in film and interviews
Knowing his theatre show "To Kill A Mockingbird" mega popular
Rafe a natural on the theatre stage: his talent never to age.
