I Could

I could,
Get caught in the pouring rain,
Swim secretly down the Seine,
Find fifteen minutes of fame,
Rush to catch the last train,
And fall in love again?
I could.

McLUHAN's LAW

In
the
headlines of today,
his fifteen minutes of fame-
ephemeral as footprints in the sand.*

a pale mist

footprints
evaporate

Fifteen Minutes

as I slipped through your past
without leaving marks or a trace
I can't say the same
there's only me to blame

you crawled in under my skin
I can't shake you free
there must be a reason
that my mind's imprisoned

my fifteen minutes of fame
expired fortnights ago
but yours still stays with me
buried to a deep degree

Premium Member Make It Happen

While waiting for my ship to come in
Others got to it first by going for a swim

While waiting for opportunity to knock
It was met in front of my door by a hungrier flock

While waiting for my fifteen minutes of fame
Others got noticed by not playing this game

If I want good things to happen to me
I guess I should pursue them more aggressively

Daily Dose

Daily dose of nothing
On the TV screen
I feel the sickness rise inside of me
With each passing image I see

Show after show
About nothing at all
Other people's problems
Nowhere to go

Dr. Phil will fix your marriage
Maury will find your baby's daddy
Here's your fifteen minutes of fame
Put on your makeup and get ready

Your problems are now no longer your own
You've opened up your doors of shame
Now the whole world knows

Don't Know

What I don't know isn't so
what I do know never shows
Take a guess might miss
all the same share the blame



                                 Fifteen Minutes

Fifteen minutes of fame
brings a lifetime of sorrow
fleeting the taste you seek
sour life all you reap.

                                My My My

My my my  the more you dream the less you try
and when it's all within your grasp you stumble off your ass.

Bp Will Show No Shame: Written For Paula Swanson

It's not my fault.
The oil just wants out!
It's no ones fault
Things happen, sludge is in the current.

I'm not to blame,
Really, I don't know!
Yacht racing brings fame
So I had to go!

You have no proof!
Who can say, who done it?
So who should fix the leaking "roof"?
BP will get around toit!

I will show no shame
I am not to blame!
That's how I roll this game!
My fifteen minutes of fame.

For Paula's contest--had to get on BP in the process!!

I want to change the rules Rather then striving for fifteen minutes of fame We should seek fifteen minutes of love All of us should be entitled to fifteen minutes Of immaculate, exhaustive, impassioned love Just fifteen minutes- Fifteen minutes of enlightenment Submerged in ecstasy For fifteen minutes- For fifteen minutes everything else is mute Love is the motive If we all got it- We would all get it- Only fifteen minutes- We don’t need fame anyway
