Celebrities, it’s plain to see. <br />Rely upon publicity, <br /> if they’re not in the public eye. <br />They have to strive to rectify <br /> the situation which they see <br />as being ignored completely. <br />That’s why they pull such stupid tricks <br /> and misbehave like lunatics. <br /> The think the public have to be <br />impressed by a celebrity <br />Despite the fact he is a fool <br />who has done nothing as a rule. <br />Except to court publicity, <br />which he must do assiduously <br />Or disappear from public view. <br />Nobody cares what happens to <br />celebrities who used to be. <br />World famous but no longer are <br />their place usurped by some new star. <br />They fade into obscurity, <br />almost as if they’d never been. <br />No longer part of the Cool scene. <br />They’re has beens now, not wannabees <br />With nothing left but memories. <br /> <br />23-Jul-08 <br /> <br />http: // blog.myspace.com/poeticpiers<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/who-43/
