WHO??

poem

 

 

Who?

 

 

Celebrities, it’s plain to see.

Rely upon publicity,

 if they’re not in the public eye.

They have to strive to rectify

 the situation which they see

as being ignored completely.

That’s why the pull such stupid tricks

 and misbehave like lunatics.

 The think the public have to be

impressed by a celebrity

Despite the fact he is a fool

who has done nothing as a rule.

Except to court publicity,

which he must do assiduously

Or disappear from public view.

Nobody cares what happens to

celebrities who used to be.

World famous but no longer are

their place usurped by some new star.

They fade into obscurity,

almost as if they’d never been.

No longer part of the Cool scene.

They’re has beens now, not wannabees

With nothing left but memories.

This is all so true... Not to mention they are all arrogant and condescending. I love how they complain about the paparazzi then call ahead to the tabloids to let them know where they will be. Terrific job in capturing this in poetic form (:
