American Idol (Written For Linda-Marie's Contest)
American Idol
Those rolling eyes and special quirks
I love the way you smile and smirk.
Sly sharp barbed Simon Cowell,
Caustic comments make me howl.
Your silent sneer and stately smear,
Make some contestants shake with fear.
That is one way to sort them out!
Before they cry, make signs, or shout.
But when someone is really good,
Before a single word is heard,
Your grin and pensive silent stare
Wait to lavishes kind praises, earned.
I love your show, its rhyme and reason.
So much talent makes watching pleasing.
Applaud grows throughout each season.
By public opinion, singers gain dominion.
Simon et al scout talents each year.
Approving smiles to each heart is dear.
King of the “Jungle…music that is.
Singing winners arise and greet “Show Biz”!
