I am disconsolate
I cannot be consoled
I have a sadness
That cannot be controlled
I am demoralized
My confidence is shaken
I could not be lonelier
I feel so forsaken
And I appreciate your trying to enliven me
But I dont want to be cheered up, cant you see
That I'm disconsolate
I can't be consoled
I have a sadness
That cannot be controlled
I am demoralized
My confidence is shaken
I could not be lonelier
I feel so forsaken
So leave me alone!

Theatre
We're going to the theatre
To the theatre we will go
Here are some words that you can use
To describe the show
If it's early in the afternoon
When you see a play
The show that you are seeing
Is called a matinee
When the play begins
The actors go to their positions
You learn the characters' backgrounds
That's called the exposition
The leading actor in the play
You simply can't resist
He is the hero of the play
He's the protagonist
The characters in the play
They talk to one another
This part is called the dialogue
It helps move the plot futher
You get to find out if the play
Ends the way you want
When do you get to find that out?
During the dénouement
We're going to the theatre
To the theatre we will go
And now you have some words to use
To describe the show
