American Idol

Perchance they come in thousands, 
With hopes of  dreams come true,
Through every grain they muster,
Eliminations... two by two.  
 
Not yet time for America's vote,                     
There's one last city, the coast,  
Two thousand more try outs, 
Three judges, who'll play host. 

Only one can become the Idol,
As weeks turn tears to joy, 
Left standing through it all,  
ONE GIRL!  ONE BOY!

Now it's time, to pick up the phone,
To vote your favorite in,
Today we witness history,
And a new Star's life begins.....

smile -- yes, another season of searching for the next hopeful shining shooting star is born in America -- it is kind of a sweet thought though is it not my dear wherein we as the viewers get to dream a little dream within escapisms and all and yet, i have rarely watched the Idol since Daughtry was eliminted a few years ago; kind of lost the golden dust for myself at that moment -- great rec and poe and, 'thank you,' for the kind com; much appreciated -- love, Always, christopher ~
