Embroiled

You’re feeling so uncomfortably like a lobster lately, embroiled in hot controversy Heated debates swirling all around you, as your deep-fried life jumps from the frying pan to the boiling pot Wiping the sweat off your brow, standing before the microphones and blazing bright lights burning hot You feel like you’re in a Twilight Red Lobster Zone You’re catching a lot of heat, catching a lot Whew! Brother, it’s gotten really hot You’re so embroiled ... feels like you being boiled Boiled alive, living the lobster life Scandal and blooper viral feed has you in a steamy situation Court cases ... mounting legal fees Your green onions are getting a chop-chop caramelized sensation Indecent public exposure, tabloid indiscretions ... Off-the-cuff sound bytes played on a constant loop Political incorrectness, multiple divorce messes ... Plus anger management is your new therapy group You got a slew of problems like a gumbo stew, so dump your crustacean career in the roiling pot You’re catching a lot of heat, catching a lot Whew! Brother, it’s gotten so fiery hot You’re so embroiled ... feels like you being boiled Boiled alive, living the lobster life Being served on a buffet platter is so undignified

This was so cool and imaginative Freddie. I don't eat seafood or this might have made me hungry, but I could go for some of those cheese biscuits at Red Lobster...okay, now I'm hungry. Seriously, you are very talented my friend and have such a cool way of expressing things.
