You have practiced your ventriloquism …
And you know you are ready …

And give them to everybody …
Then wait for the phone to ring …
And wait …
And wait …
And then one day it happens …
And they want to hire you … but …
They don’t have any money and you are thinking …
But they say …
Plus you will get plenty of publicity …
So you take the show because it will be good for your career …
But when you get there, no one cares about you …

And the only person that pays attention to your performance offers this advice …
And you feel like …

And you feel sorry for yourself until someone tells you …
And they give you advice that you don’t want to hear …
But if you follow the advice … one day …

In show business …
You don’t go from obscurity, unable to get shows – to fame – it doesn’t happen.
No one succeeds by themselves. Even self made people have help along the way.
Because if you want folks to sit up and pay attention …
You have to realize …
