sour grapes

SOUR GRAPES

 

Grammys and Oscars and other awards

Made and exchanged by high ladies and lords.

(with heads that rattle like dry empty gourds.)

 

where would we be without tinsel charades?

Where would we be without stars in their shades?

(and if their Botox all withers and fades?)

 

mobs in old Rome had their circus and bread.

We have Doc Phil who will mess with your head.

(good sense tastes better if first it is shred.)

 

Life cannot give you much glamour and glitz.

Oprah will get you a night at the Ritz.

(before you go back to your fatback and grits.)

 

Read all the books that they tell you to read.

And to their politics please give strict heed.

(Disregard anything like corporate greed.)

 

Line up for prizes on any game show.

American Idol will sure let you crow.

(Who says you can't life entirely faux?)

 

Why do I mock all celebrity puff?

It is because I'm against all their fluff!

(And The New Yorker will not print my stuff.)
