The Super Star
His name was John Manty,
Who hailed from a shanty
A shanty where slums;
Were not at all scanty.
He had a big dream,
Every day he used to scream
He was singing a nice song like;
Neapolitan ice cream…!!!
He wanted to be a star,
And drive his own car
One day at the bar;
He heard of “super star”.
He went for the audition,
Of the " super star" competition
He won it and then became;
A rich and pop musician.
He earned alot of money,
And spent on things so funny
When debtors came for money;
he hid himself under the gunny!
He could not pay his rent,
And he had not even a cent
He gave the key to the owner;
And to his shanty off he went......
"How can I go back to the shanty"?,
Wondered ex-star poor John Manty
He jumped from the Great old bridge;
And that ends the story of Manty.......!!!
