Famous


from the ABC set Writing 2008

Famous

I’m Famous me. I had a hit record like twenty years ago.

Do you recognise me?

I wear this baseball cap with the peak pulled low so that you won’t recognise me.

I wear these dark glasses so that you won’t recognise me.

I’ve grown my hair out so that you won’t recognise me.

I disguise my voice so that you won’t recognise me.

I’ve changed my trademark swagger so that you won’t recognise me.

I have these six burly bodyguards so that you’ll recognise me.

Do you want my autograph?

Yes please, but how would I recognise you?

Ha! I've often thought this too. They make themselves as conspicous as they can, but claim non-chalance. In a similiar way to how sometimes women spent hours doing the make up, with the intention of it looking 'natural'.
