I'm on TV

I'm on TV

A Poem by Dennis Shanaberg

Dear Darling, I said I was gonna be famous,
But if I can’t, then I’ll sure be infamous.
My Darling, you know that it’d be their loss,
But I’m gonna make it at any cost.

Call the cops and stop the presses.
I’m know I’m gonna get myself on TV.
What I’m doing is anyone’s guesses,
But just know the top story tonight is going to be me.

I’m on TV.
Gonna make it to the silver screen.
I’m on TV.
I wonder who their gonna get to play me.
I’m on TV.
Games show glory, Get your 30 seconds of fame.
I’m on TV.
Murder-- Theft-- Lying-- Cheating-- The news just said my name.

A Hilton dog and Kardashian marriage.
Suleman with her wide baby carriage.
BTK got himself a household name.
Mr. Weiner with his sad dick joke shame.
Tiger and all the gals who used his wood,
But I’ve still to hear ‘bout someone doing good.
Conservation and humanitarian aid
Doesn’t get covered unless the story’s paid.

Call the cops and stop the presses.
I’m know I’m gonna get myself on TV.
What I’m doing is anyone’s guesses,
But just know the top story tonight is going to be me.

I’m on TV.
Gonna make it to the silver screen.
I’m on TV.
I wonder who their gonna get to play me.
I’m on TV.
Games show glory, Get your 30 seconds of fame.
I’m on TV.
Murder-- Theft-- Lying-- Cheating-- The news just said my name.

I like your language coz it deeply talks about you
...I wonder if its right to use "I'm know instead of I know" in the 2nd stanza 2nd line of the poem,
but its really nice
thanks

I liked this. I think everyone strives to become famous. I agree with the review below. I mean doing something that stupid for attention is pointless. Nonetheless this was a good write. Thanks for sharing.

I like to be the quiet man in the background. Some of the foolish people will say and do anything for attention. I like the desire and the purpose of this poem. I believe better to live a good life then be a clown for the world. Thank you for the excellent poem.
