Noblesse Oblige
NOBLESSE OBLIGE
I might get a Nobel
I might get run over
Contingencies abound
Best to be prepared
Nobel Prize response:
(Modesty meets truth)
“I am no more”
(Than any other)
Tombstone requiem:
(Dream meets reality)
“I am no more”
(The tenant left)
Vincent’s Brother’s Brother
VINCENT’S BROTHER’S BROTHER
Are you also one
I wonder who are unknown
Until they are gone?
A Cruel Mistress
A CRUEL MISTRESS
Top of the charts, teenage guitar hero
All those girls down on their knees
Fast forward thirty years
Nothing to see here
Just another clapped out muso
Comes awake mid afternoon
A sobering thought
Sends a shiver
Sends him scuttling
For a hair of the dog
A glass or three
Of Old Paint Stripper
Down at the Rickety Crotchet
Where the mandatory optimism prevails
The Price Of Fame
THE PRICE OF FAME
This obscure scribbler
Would rather never
To have been (inaccurately,
of course) well known
Than to have (inevitably)
Been misremembered

Hidden Cost

HIDDEN COST
To seek for fame a bridge too far
To hide from view beneath a mask
Subject of yarn after yarn bizarre
Who needs to take on such a task?
