Poem As Exhibit 'A'

If I'd made it
as a pop or rock star,
an actor,
or excelled at study
to become a famous politician,
this would'nt be necessary,
for my 'known' name
would spring any publishers door -
shift shit loads of books;
why,
even the infamous are sometimes feted.
Still, I'm not bitter,
now, excuse me
while I pack this holdall,
drain this bottle,
count these 'rounds'.................
