Jane Fonda

Jane Fonda still likes to exercise and stretch,
so throws the odd chew toy and tells her dog to go fetch.
She remembers fondly those famous workout videos,
even if now she can’t always reach her own toes.

Robert  Frost

With vigor,  intense lines  did exhaust--

His road not taken was backbreaking

That poet grew old   from spine aching.

Premium Member Tricky Dicky

Richard Nixon was the president’s name
It was Watergate that brought him shame
They wanted to impeach him, the F.B.I.
But he resigned before they could try.

Brady and His Footballs

Have you ever heard of that famous Tom Brady?
His deflated balls can’t even chase off the ladies.  
But he’s a legend that football has seemly created, 
so I named my puppy Brady...but his balls not deflated.

Premium Member Bubba Clinton's Quandary

Among the many 'services' provided Bubba Clinton by his moll,
Was the delivery of pizzas by Monica, a most curious protocol!
An intriguing stain was once discovered on her lovely dress of blue!
Was it cheese or pepperoni?   Bubba insisted he had no clue!

Premium Member Tupac Shakur

Born "Lesane Parish Crooks", Tupac Amaru Shakur
Gone too soon; flung " Hit Em' Up" at his rivals, hardcore

Misunderstood, influential; the emperor of rap, in my view
His versatility, undeniable; he was a fine actor and poet, too.

Premium Member Crazy Zany Cool

Its  OK to be a 
Little crazy sometimes
Be a little zany 
And mad

At times in moderate
Doses. 
To the power  of 
Recognisable bluffs.

We don't want to cause
The slip of the grip.
Its all Right
Just maintain.  Your 
Crazy?  With your cool.

If it so happens that any
Famous person  insists you
Are crazy.  Addressing you
By your full name
In public  VENUE.

well now. You are 
FAMOUS too.
 Aren't you?

Me

Me

I have failed at everything.
Everything I try to do.

I have failed in school.
I was never well behaved.

I have failed at work.
I was never a very good slave.

I have failed at family.
Where are they now?

I have failed at life.
I’m barely making it somehow.

I’m not a famous person.
I’m not a wealthy man.
I’m not a holy guru;
Nor wanted by any friend.

I’m just good at being me;
and maybe that’s all I’m supposed to be.

Premium Member David of the Bible

David* of the Bible is well-known for his global impact And for sure, he in heaven knows that fact… In every continent, each family bears his name While social media reverberate his fame.

Premium Member Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga-
Outrageous outfits, and makeup creating moments of ah,
once worked as a very bad waitress till she was asked to go away;
tweets bizarre all night while drinking wine-   wearing expensive lingerie !
