I'm assuming you get jobs by casting calls so do you think the casting calls are better in NY or CA? Do you have to have an agent to find out about casting calls? If not how do you find out about them?

Does anyody know the rest of this poem?

I once had a gerbil
Bought me by my dad
I used watch it in its cage
Running around like mad
Or sleeping in its corner
Nesting in its hole
Made out of shavings
Bit of wool
And chewed up toilet roll

I kept it in the kitchen
In a cage my cousin made
It would throw bits on to the floor
Mum grumbled
But it stayed

I would be REALLY gald if someone could help me find the rest of this poem. It's for a project I'm doing.

Thanks!
