The Tv And Music Extra Poem by Paula Glynn

Having had aspirations to be gorgeous Jessica Alba
She takes acting and dance lessons from a young age
Learning about acting techniques
Learning about dance routines
Learning about stage instructions.

Having had aspirations to be fabulous Jennifer Lopez
She watches the talented Jennifer Lopez dance
She watches Jennifer Lopez stick to routines
Yet adding her own allure and special ingredients
To those magical music shows and concerts.

With supermodel looks she always gets admiring glances
With men who adore her and always take their chances
For she is no ugly duckling: she is beautiful in her own right
Always having stylish manicures and essential haircuts
Always wearing colourful and sophisticated makeup on stage and off-stage.

Having once had aspirations to be a superstar
Having once learnt the classical guitar
Her weekly music lessons not taking her far
In spite of composing folk music onto tape
And regular practice in her house.

Having been taught to make her dreams come true
Childhood built her up for success
Her parents encouraging her to keep going
Her parents knowing their daughter smart and all knowing
Their daughter talented with a right to make her dreams reality.

She now becomes a TV and music extra with a normal shape
Appearing next to popular actress Jessica Alba
Appearing next to the triple threat Jennifer Lopez
Also bravely going on stage to dance and sing
Musical stars and instruments needing assistance.

She also appears in English soap operas
Sitting in famous television public houses
Walking in crowds in various parades
Blending in with the massive pulsating crowd
Also playing friends of the superstar in music videos.

Unfortunately only ever a back up singer
Her vocals not in a superstar's league
Still she has skill, talent and credibility
Her performance qualifications incredible
Having learnt those stage skills from a young age.

Even though not having an anonymous and normal face
She doesn't receive the credit of the superstar
Yet she still makes any good film pop
Yet she still makes that music video vibrant and exciting
And dancing on stage as an extra means great wealth.
