Staying Here

By Slicks78

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

“Staying here” Turn on the TV, it’s Jerry Springer She was a dead pan ringer for Sally Jesse Fought with her mother’s sister’s cousin It sure was messy, that’s life in Hollywood That’s life in your neighborhood (Chorus) Girl next door makes you beg for more What are you staying here for? Hollywood calls it, a perfect screenplay Mumble the words, don’t care about them anyway What are we staying here for? Sitting on your couch, watching WWF double team Being in the big ring, it’s your pro time dream Barbie can’t do it with Ken, even in Dollywood There’s problems with inept men That’s life in your neighborhood (Chorus) Girl next door makes you beg for more What are you staying here for? Hollywood calls it, a perfect screenplay Mumble the words, don’t care about them anyway What are we staying here for? You’re staying here for the action Life being the freakish main attraction What are you pretending to be? Blind men don’t care what you look like It’s what they feel they can see What are we staying here for? Stuck in Hollywood’s trapdoorWell, I felt like writting something funny earlier. ...After watching Springer, which is a rare thing for me. Guess I've gone insane. it's funny to me, probably not to anyone else. The music makes it better! Written March 29th, 2002 © on Mar 29 2002 12:48 PM PST, Sharon   20 • 0 • 14
