A Tv Star

A TV star He wanted to be a star on TV He wanted his face to be seen He knew it would be quite a challenge, but he yearned to be living the dream. The programme in question was not in dispute He'd planned it for quite a long while He'd start at the bottom and work his way up by spending a morning on Jeremy Kyle. The first thing to do was to get a tattoo He'd planned it, it wasn't on speck He'd soon learn to live with an arm that was blue and 'Mother' scrawled over his neck. The next thing to get was a girlfriend He found him a beauty worth kissing Between them their teeth were a dentist's delight One black, one white, one missing. They sat on the stage and went into a rage the audience hurling abuse the pair of them both started fighting but then they had nothing to lose. They caused so much trouble on stage he asked them to leave by the back but audience members were waiting preparing to make an attack. No way could they hide from the people outside determined to point out their sins. The crowd started throwing tomatoes, unfortunately still in their tins. But he was quite happy, he'd managed his goal His fifteen minutes of fame Celebrity Big Brother was waiting They'd always remember his name.
