I Vant To Be Alone

Post by Lightning Rod » August 6th, 2008, 1:38 am

being in the celebrity business is hell
you have to stay in character all the time
the wardrobe expenses are onerous
you have to organize your security detail
and coordinate the paparazzi
sell your baby pics for maximum profit
to be donated to charity of course

then you get too full of yourself and vomit
end up in rehab or just jail
your agent has to make your bail
and the tabloids want to smear you,
but they pay well

photo shoots and power lunches
first-class seats and special treatment
are such a bore but it's Noblesse oblige
it goes with the territory
when you're a celebrity
"These words don't make me a poet, these Eyes make me a poet."

The Poet's Eye

wow, i know how that is - "sign this for me.." or "would you dedicate this to my mom..?" it gets to be too much sometimes. that's why i had to quit the celebrity gig. it was exhausting making those big bucks, having those kinky fucks, and those meals were a steal when the celebrity chef knew ya'... but no more of that crap, i'm now just a flap in the easy breeze doin' as i please, thank you, and nobody knows my name. paradise at last, thank gawd!

((say... i got this great idea, LR... could make us some big dinero.. you know..?))

And if you decide to run for president it could get you grave yard dead every twenty years or so.

excellent work
