scarecrow poetics/essays

In High School Tom joined the drama club
because it looked like fun.
He was always the class clown
but he was shy.

Even so,
in 1974 he won his first Best Actor award
for his part in a school play.

After leaving school Tom went to college.
He joined a drama class there also
to pass the time.
He was soon hooked
on everything to do with acting.
And today is one of the Hollywood’s greats.
