The Bog of Incredible Stench!
The bog of Incredible Stench
Not a place I knew of when young
Not a place I'd ever contemplate going to
Not a place I'd recommend – learning cure?
@Not a place I want to be@
Why do so many do so many regrettable things
Evita – no regrets?
They wish!
Borrow a life or two – hind – no regrets?
≠
I knew bizarre wear of the Emperor
New life – borrowed life
New life – better life?
New life – old strife
♣Invisible hands to help the Emperors into their robes♣
Invisible mantle stolen on view – star wear
All on show invisible bizarre wear
Star wear - star war
Poor star?
Poof gone?
Mantle gone!
Stardom gone?

Catch a falling star for the pocket
New life – borrowed life
Catch a falling star for the pocket
New life – better life
Catching a falling star for the pocket
New life – new lies
Catch a falling star for the pocket
New life – old life, old strife!
Will you go
To ware stench?
Will you go
following
stardom?
Does it
happen
or
is it
taken
Nurtured thievery
Kept not given back
Thievery of many to greedy to know
They're Emperors on Show
