X Factor

" X " Factor If " X" is a Factor Bring me my protractor and ill work on a equation For every occasion So you stand out from the crowd Your uncontrollably loud and the camera's they'll love you Your parent's proud of you But enjoy the bright lights because your public are fickle Sell you out for a nickle And the equations a year the span of a career when you put X in the Factor because your merely an actor The star is " X " Factor

Time is limited in most endeavors especially in the star kingdom even though some remain on top all their lives. Nicely done on the topic. Keep the magical pen flowing. Sara

Interesting thought, Chris. And they sold Christ out for thirty coins (Sheckles, I think. How much were they worth?) Fickle folks have been around for dentures, it seems. Nice poem, Chris. Lovingly, Dane

Indeed it is, Chris. Fame is fleeting, and the X Factor may have a lot to do with it. Very creative write! Love, Carolyn
