Malchik Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Michael, the biggest theatrical backer in Heaven (i.e Arch-Angel) explains how he got a job in heaven in the first place. No.6 MICHAEL'S CONFESSION - A RAP Yeah. When I was only seven, I decided upon heaven for I saw it was the only place to be. It's the place where all the fun is, where the stars, the moon, the sun is, and you get to choose your neighbours. That's for me! Though above my mental station, I sat the examination which was passed with flying colours, let me say. But they offered the position of celestial magician. And - well - rabbits out of hats? I said, 'no way'. The one bugbear to my idyll was I'd got there through a fiddle. Someone else had sat my papers truth to tell. For, however elementary, with a brain that's rudimentary, there'd be lots and lots of words I couldn't spell. When I wrote to them politely saying no, for I was slightly under-qualified for what they wanted then. They said, take it or you'll blow it and, in case you didn't know it, opportunity knocks once and not again. So I wrote and said I'd do it - well, I didn't want to screw it - asking if another angle could be found. They replied 'We'll be delighted. As an angel, how far-sighted. We don't know the word but really like the sound. I created an imbroglio, as minister sans portfolio, but at once I carved myself a cushy slot. For some self-important hype'll quickly make you archetypal and then half the bloody world wants what you've got. But it's hard to feel secure, when you never can be sure one day some young smart-arsed kid will come and smell it. That it's just a ruddy tangle and my angel was the angle I'd perhaps have got if I'd known how to spell it. Please excuse me if I'm twitchy, sometimes hyper-tense and pregnant-dogy, but there's nothing I can do here to forget it. Cos the role I've had to set on is to bully, shout and threaten. So no problem gets to me as I won't let it. Oh, but underneath, I'm shaking. Well, of course I know I'm faking just like all the bloody leaders of today. It's the image that'll save me. Even with the brain God gave me. Now you know. I've done. I'm off, so clear the way! (This comes from my putative musical comedy 'Did I Sing too Loud?' Should you wish to hear more, let me know.)
