No Words Today

no clever words have I today
no point of view must I portray
no catchy phrases to display
no thoughtful quotes have I to say

no witty words I want to write
no sentiments of pure delight
no brilliant thoughts of clear insight
no fires I feel I must ignite

no hidden secrets to unlock
no peaceful boat I need to rock
no pressure from the ticking clock
no stress to end this writer’s block

Celebrities

celebrities die and it’s a shame
must be the doctors are to blame
but regular folks get hooked on drugs
well they’re just gangsters, crooks and thugs

when superstars get in a mess
it’s because their lives have so much stress
but you and I, our lives are cake
when we fuck-up it’s our mistake

we go to court and pay our bail
come up with cash or go to jail
the famous people get more chances
to go to five-star rehab ranches

massages, gourmet food and spas
there’s everything except the bars
thirty days and they’re released
keep messin’ up ‘til they’re deceased
