Celebrity, celebrity,
As common as a cup of tea,
Not A or B but X, Y, Zee,
A side note in current history!
Contender on a TV show,
They have you running to and fro,
To try to make your ‘stardom’ grow,
It won’t! So it’s a body blow!
But once you get a taste of fame,
You throw yourself into the game,
Life will never be the same,
In the quest for people to know your name!
I’m afraid that what we know as a celeb,
Is often a talentless, boring pleb,
Who wants to be known as a trend- setter or Reb,
But is slave to TV or the World Wide Web!
You’re a celebrity if you can do anything,
Act, play sport, write novels, sing,
If there’s a talent or skill that you can bring,
And NOT because TV gave your name a temporary bit of zing!
So the sad thing is that now you’ll chase,
That high that is false fame’s embrace,
In order that people remember your face,
It really is current society’s disgrace!

I was tempted by an Apple,
I just couldn’t resist,
Though all the dwarves told me
I should cease and desist.
This Apple has given me
All manner of fun,
With this kit in my corner
I feel my battle’s been won!
So tell me dear reader
Should I just take one byte?
Will my web skills increase
As it were overnight?

From way up here I have a view,
Of places to go to and things to do.
I want to travel by that balloon,
To view another country’s moon.
To lands that haven’t been charted yet,
To Timbuktu, Tehran, Tibet.
To places that intrigue me so,
Make my heart leap, my spirit grow.
To Panama, Ulan Bator,
To Perpignan and Ilkley Moor.
There’s a world out there to see, explore,
And I will do so, that’s for sure.
