Exercise 6 Prepare a good reading of the poem “Mr. Depp”

You’ve been a captain on the high seas Bumbling about on deck and wisecracking your way out of everything You’ve been the author of a classic children’s novel Posing as the father figure to a few kids who have none You’ve been the comical owner of a magical chocolate factory Leading me to ask only “Why?” every step of the way

You’ve been a skilled but vengeful barber who had no problem Serving up his victims on a silver platter You’ve been a timeless character from tales of old Who fought for his life against a headless fiend on horseback You’ve been a gentle yet misunderstood man With appendages so sharp they could cut through solid metal
