One Hit Wonder.

One hit wonder.

I’m the latest one hit wonder,
Fame and fortune came my way.
Chat show hosts demand my presence,
I am on TV all day.

My opinion is now valued:
Do I buy from C&A?
What about the world of pop stars?
Do I have meals on a tray?

Is there anywhere I want to
Go for holidays and fun?
Do I need a bit of culture,
Or just sea and sand and sun?

Do I think schools are important?
Do they teach our kids enough?
Do three R’s still have a meaning?
Don’t I think our youth is rough?

What about the solid traffic,
Clogging up our city streets?
Should there be more public transport,
With free tickets, special treats?

Can I show the breathless viewers
What it is that makes me tick?
No one listens to my answers,
Yet I never miss a trick.

And then, suddenly, it’s over,
No one seems to find it strange.
I’m old news and not important,
Victim of relentless change.
