Famous

The daughter* of our friends has searched
For years to gain some fame.
Her comedy has paid the bills
But hadn’t brought acclaim.

Until one sketch went viral
And an actress we all know
Put it on her “wall” and suddenly,
Her rep began to grow.

The talk shows all invited her;
Her fan base multiplied.
She reached a million views and now
Is recognized outside.

One tap from a celebrity,
Like from a magic wand,
Can make one famous ‘round the world
And possibly beyond.

*her name is Robyn Schall – check her out!
