Just a mention

One of these days, I'd like to become a 'proper' writer!

Just a mention

I want to be outrageous

Disreputable, flirtatious.

Get my name out there

Somewhere in the poet corner,

Be daring and be dangerous.

I want to do something unrepeatable

Have my share of fifteen minutes of fame;

Even if it means I hang my head in shame.

To sell and be sold

Before I get too old.

And be profusely unacceptable.

I wish to achieve something incomprehensible

Be utterly notorious

Totally infamous.

Want to be recognised,

Written about and publicised.

But I know this sounds nonsensical.

I guess I crave attention

Just want a little mention,

In the local rag,

The radio or weekly mag.

Just want to see my name in print

Before I draw my pension.
