201. Fame

No one really cares what I say or do
When I have money or a famous name
I am the envy of every working person
A world of copycats hoping to be the same

I can have sex and tape the affair
My indiscretions spread across the Net
But the media adores my virtuous image
Preferring to show pictures of me with my pet

Politicians and leaders bide for my time
A photo shoot with me is what they seek
They say not a word when I’m screwing their daughters
For the sake of reelection they turn their other cheek

The fans all adore me and what I wear
Regardless how I try to dress poorly on purpose
Fashion designers go crazy to do the same
Not realizing that they should just never fuss

But then it will end as all things do
My image will be a thing of the past
No one will really care what I say or do
So I might as enjoy things while they last
