The poem for next week's performances is:

I think I'll Call it Morning

By Gil Scott-Heron

I’m gonna take myself a piece of sunshine

and paint it all over my sky.

                Be no rain. Be no rain.

I’m gonna take the song from every bird

and make them sing it just for me.

                Be no rain.

And I think I’ll call it morning from now on. 

                Why should I survive on sadness

                convince myself I’ve got to be alone?

                Why should I subscribe to this world’s

madness

knowing that I’ve got to live on?

I think I’ll call it morning from now on.

I’m gonna take myself a piece of sunshine

                And paint it all over my sky.

Be no rain. Be no rain.

I’m gonna take the song from every bird

And make them sing it just for me.

                Why should I hang my head?

                Why should I let tears fall from my eyes

                when I’ve seen everything that there is to see

                and I know that there ain’t no sense in crying!

                I know that there ain’t no sense in crying!

I think I’ll call it morning from now on.
