Celebrity Poem by David Wood
Celebrity
He stood all of 5 feet 5 inches,
A legend in his own underpants
Vainly displaying his credentials
Of a rolling pin and soup spoon.
He was a television phenomenon
A big TV star, a celebrity chef.
The world was at his size 8 feet:
A chef’s hat hid his partially bald head.
He was a name on a thousand households
Lips. His cupcakes a true legend:
He was a boon to all marketers
And starred in many TV commercials.
Heads would turn in the street when
He walked past and people wanted
His autograph, he always carried a pen.
He was so proud of himself.
But what did he do for society?
What did he do for the world’s poor?
Did he ever win a Nobel Prize for medicine?
No, just another of life’s parasites.
Amusing and serious poem, a difficult combination to pull of but you did it with ease. A funny poem with a serious message Well done 10/10 bb =: OD
A great poem and so true. A lot of people who do real good in the world tend to stay out of the lime light.
Great words to describe puffed up people Yes what about the REAL people? Love the page you are on. Thankyou
Wow, that is some great work going on here. A worthy 10! I am speechless!
Wow Wonderful poem like always.....People give publicity and make him a celebrity, all are carried away by his charms but nothing he does to society...... Great meaning in it..Loved reading it...
Heads would turn in the street when He walked past and people wanted His autograph, he always carried a pen. He was so proud of himself. Good observation. You've made your point.
People who do not have much worth are suddenly raised to celebrity status and they soon are puffed up with self conceit and contempt for others! It is not their fault, it is the fault of the foolish who heap on them undue greatness! That tendency is increasingly manifest these days! ... A very correct observation... David! !
There are many types of people in this life, sometimes the celebrity id really not the celebrity sat all. excellent

Quite agree David - far too much media attention is paid to the rich and beautiful, and not enough to those who really deserve recognition for their service to humanity. Well said.
