Short Film Star Poems

Hush, my little film star, don’t you talk;
Daddy’s gonna buy you some shares of stock.

If those shares of stock go bust,
Daddy’s gonna buy you a car you’ll lust.

When that car won’t hold a charge,
Daddy’ll get a diamond nice and large.

Seems paying for a film star’s not the sin;
Only when the film star brings it up again....

To ward off those germs from afar
I’m using a tatty old bra
It can’t be a task
To make a face mask
I’ll model it like a film star!

But sewing skills, none to be had -
My home made mask looks very bad
No way does it fit
I look a right tit
My husband won’t wear his, I’m glad!

no guns no knives 
except cutlery

and I’m not a film star
getting out of impossibilities
saving the world with nice teeth

so I guess I’ll just stay in bed
or pull up a chair
watching it all eating crisps

Twenty times in life I’ve experienced stitches,
So I’ll never be mistaken for some film star.

If fewer than three sutures they don’t count,
Or the broken bones and assortment of flays.
It began at fourteen and with age would mount,
I’m just an old dog that had a few rough days.
