My One Dream Job.

 

We pave the trail we’re meant to blaze

We’ll keep on going until it’s ourselves we amaze

 

Some of us will take off and just keep flying

Those of us that fall will just keep trying

 

My dream job, I confess, is a goal aimed high

I want to take over Saturday Night Live

 

In order to succeed I formed a reputation

So that when I tell people my dream they’ll say

 “You’d fit well in that occupation”

 

My experience in sketch comedy and improv. cannot be measured

 But what I found along the ride are core values I’ll treasure.

 

I want to be truthful I’m told its good for your health

When an audience laughs at a scene they’ll think “I see something of myself”

 

The element of comedy is not always a humble one

But I strive for humility to be part of who I become

 

I want my work to speak for itself

I won’t talk myself up or flaunt my wealth

 

What I write, will mean something more

I will provide opportunity; I’ll open that door

 

The last thing I value is near to my heart

I will maintain integrity and that’s just for a start

 

The ideals that shape me will be no one’s but mine

My mother gave me that speech and I remember every line

 

“Be strong and persistent, sometimes you’ll fall on your rear but it’s

Experience like that what will allow you to persevere.”

 

When I write sketch and comedy I’ll think of the greats

And when it comes to loyalty I’ll be Adam Sandler to my mates.

 

It’s never been my nature to let opportunity pass me by

I’ll honor collaboration and never think “What if?” or “Why”?

 

Musicals, plays, sketch, and mentoring

I feel well prepared for the industry I’ll be entering

 

I didn’t mention my one dream job but more than once (Now twice)

Because everything I’ve talked about is all one cake, the job is just slice

 

My job at SNL will be uncharted territory, an alien zone

But isn’t that what some of life should be? The exciting, the unknown?

 

We are all so young and many of us ambitious

That it may seem to you my one dream job should be fictitious

 

The way I see it, I’ll never stop learning

But I can’t help but reach, it’s a life-long yearning

 

So the only thing left is to introduce myself to Lorne

Hey there Michaels, I feel it only fair to warn

 

I mean no harm I come in absolute peace

You’re brilliant empire with me would not (You have my word) cease

 

I will honor your work and add a flare of my own

I’ll treat it with care, your carefully crafted throne

 

The last thing to do restate my intention

Because you probably feel like I’m a mistress of circumvention

 

I want to be head writer and executive producer at Saturday Night Live

And if you, selection committee, would come with me, head first I would dive

 

My parting statement (Eagerly awaited)

Is a brave little fact that I’ve (Until now) left unstated

 

Lorne without your ‘ok’ your support and admission

I would still pursue sketch, but instead, as your respectful competition

 

My One Dream Job has always been the same

If you forget all else, remember my name
