4/9/19 – Ronson

Mark Ronson
Turned the radio on
And heard one of his songs.
It was one of the big ones.
The real big ones.
He smiled thinking back to the time of making it,
The friendships he formed,
The elation of connecting with audiences,
The magic of being a conduit for ideas
Transmitted from the universe
And then rolled over and had a wank.

26/8/19 – Culkin

Macaulay Culkin
Was home alone
And pretty bored,
So set himself
Loads of booby traps.
He got shot in the groin by a BB gun,
Burnt his hand on a hot door-knob,
Got covered in glue and blasted with feathers
And was hit in the face by a paint can.
It was very unpleasant
And a bad example to set for kids.
