review of roots poem

I'm an actress
Who listens to audio tapes.
I have great credibility with the fans,
They say I have wonderful diction
And my autograph is immaculate.
It is easy to locate my studio 
'cause I write the directions manually.
I have a good motivation to do what I do,
I ran over a pedestrian, 
So  I have to pay the hospital bills.
The population of  actors wish they had the drive
I transport everything onto the set,
My signature is on all the boxes.
I write it small, 
People say they need spectacles to see it.
On the set I drive a tractor.
That seen has been a most requested video
I cannot wait to see how my show evolves!

I think that they should have been more descriptive with the battle between Beowulf and Grendel.

Rumors

The latest rumor I heard I think I believed. the person who "started" the rumor spread it to everyone. So I guess the person who spread the rumor was in control because the person the rumor was about couldn't do anything about it.
