I'm Glad that I'm not Famous

I actually wish I was famous, but it’s just as well I’m not…....

I’m glad that I’m not famous
With my clumsy 2 left feet
There’d be so many photos
Of me tripping down the street
Lying very awkwardly
My feet up in the air
My wobbly bits for all to see
Magazines would cheer!

I’m glad that I’m not famous
I couldn’t bear the pain
The money they would make from me
By selling all my shame
Cameras, would see me coming
And to all I would excite
For I could feed small countries
Just on a Friday night!

Oh, I’m glad that I’m not famous
It would not at all be pretty
The things I wouldn’t mean to say
Thinking I was witty
Constantly back tracking
The stupid words I said
Holding pillows on my head
Wishing I was dead!

I’m glad that I’m not famous
Although…
Paris Hilton may protest
She really may not like the way
My fame gives her a rest!
