I told my mum <br />“I wanna marry a rockstar” <br />I don’t want a lawyer <br />They talk way too much <br />I hate structures, mum <br />Lawyers – they obey everything <br />And they quote Sections and Articles <br />From the Federal Constitution <br />Those are their mantras. <br />Yikes! That's gross! <br />I would rather study Dalai Lama <br />And quote Sun Tzu. <br /> <br />I don’t want an accountant <br />They’re stingy and predictable <br />I should know <br />My friends – they’re neat to the core <br />They carry rulers everywhere they go. <br />They apply prudence concept in their life - <br />Where provisions for doubtful debts <br />Always comes in handy. <br />Everything has its maturity value - <br />They have some sort of <br />Obsession with the idea of depreciation. <br />Oh and you can expect them to say: <br />“You owe me RM 13.21” <br /> <br />I don’t want a doctor <br />They’re too boring <br />My uncle’s a doctor <br />And he’s not my favorite. <br />He carries himself recklessly <br />Playing an ineffective role as everybody's consultant <br />Thinking he’s Oprah. <br />He appears on talk shows <br />Makes millions and earns temporary fame <br />But still, I think <br />There’s more to life. <br />He claims he’s an excellent pianist <br />But all he’s ever played is <br />The Beatles’ Let It Be <br />That must have been his anthem song. <br /> <br />Therefore, mum <br />I want a rockstar <br />Rockstars are cool <br />They write lyrics so deep <br />We don’t understand <br />They dress anyway they wish <br />And don't mind looking odd. <br />I want a Thom Yorke <br />I want a JD Fortune <br />They help troubled people like me <br />You have no idea, mum <br />They say “Hold on if you feel like letting go” <br />So I hold on, <br />And I last one more day.<br /><br />Lara W.A<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mum-i-wanna-marry-a-rockstar-is-that-okay/
