Best Peopleplaces Poems

"going Places...."

Recognized, for a small collection

Drawn over time....Notified....Certified

I wonder if they'll give me

A bronze statue for that

Or perhaps a plaque, and

A pat on the back?

High fives all around

"Your going places boy

Try to keep your feet

Upon the ground....

No party complete you know

If your not in town"

So they tell me

And, so I hear....

I wonder, if they'll give me

Some chips with my beer?

Looking at their faces

All their gowns, and all their ties

Caviar and cocktails

And a few, low fives....

I wonder, if they'll give me

A star made of gold

Twenty-four karat, so

It doesn't rust, when I grow old?

"Your going places boy

Try to keep your head

Beneath the clouds....

Here....There....There come the crowds"

Pretty faces....Warm embraces

"Heres my number....'Call me'

When their not around!"

So, this is it....This

Is where it all begins?

"Your going places boy

How does it feel, now

That your in!?"

Now....

I wonder, if I want it

Their accolades....And all their tin

Pondering....Maybe I'll pass, this time

The glory....Without the sin?

"Your going places boy

All you gotta do....Is smile....And....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

....Pretend!?"
