Star In The Woods
Ik ben
Samuel
Leroy Jackson
Hollywood acteur
You may
have seen
My
films
You may
have heard
My name
Yet the
movie game
Of
lights and fame
I am
not here
To play
After
two months training students
Of the
dramatic arts
In
Amsterdam
The
workshops were done
Masterclasses completed
I have
migrated south
To warm
receptive climes
For
there’s a new thing
A fresh
plot in my life
I am
going to open and run
A
Hollywood delicatessen
In the
woods beyond the campus
Right
here in Tilburg
Two
hundred year old proud city
I am
honoured, and humble as the honey bee
So
please please get a little fat
It is
OK to do so
Forgo
Albron
I’ll
feed you in the woods
Come
find me there; I will sustain you
With
actorly technique
I’ll
entice you to splash out on spices
Take a
gamble on inspiring fruit and innovative ices
Regard
my rare pears
My
princely quince
Come
buy come buy
Contemplate my cherry pie
Cranberries, bilberries, tilberries
Taste
and try
Taste
and try
And as
we banter and barter
Across
the counter
Help me
learn
Your
language, your punchy Dutch
Cornflakey crunch that I love so much
There
ain’t nothin like it
Russian
French Apache – a tongue none can touch
We will
have a cultural exchange
Let us
all broaden our range
Here’s
more food for thought
In the
evenings I will not rest from
My
day’s labours
I will
contribute my share to the Tilburg night
Moonlighting in the
Nieuwe Voorst en Paradox
Dancing
to the four stages of culture shocks
To
techno, jazz, folk, soul and rock
Wearing
my iconic beard and Scottish kilt
Lighting the halls with a North American lilt
As I
scat a scooby doodle do wop dat
Come to
my day life come to my night life
I will
show any soul who cares to witness
My ego
evolving, true mental fitness
My road
leading me
Out of
old spotlights
I cater
to the city’s appetites
While
Tilburg basks in the bicentennial
I will
prosper in 2009
And
there will be no time for golf or Pilates
In the shade of
eiken en beuken
I will
run my business
Joggers, dog walkers, students and staff will visit my
Deli of
delights, winkel in the Warande where the eight ways
Meet
The
star-shaped park will host a star
And I
will lay my products upon you
No
eenheidsworst
But
unity sausage will be
My
calling card
It’s a
blend of the finest ingredients
I sure
as hell gurantee
My 1620
waffles will wow you and
My
Samuel Leroy Jackson cakes
Will
taste the best
