School Poetry: Retrospective - Careers

Careers

I was a singing sensation.

An international star.

Sang boy band ballads;

Fans flocked from afar.

I was pop chart famous;

A platinum selling record deal.

When I left school,

That’s what life was like for me.

Then I became a wrestler

When muscles made me hard.

Named ‘The Mad Mauler’

I fought through out the world.

But sadly I was banned

For a move called ‘Cut Free’.

When I got bigger,

That’s what life was like for me.

I decided to be dangerous

Become a pirate all-at-sea.

Stealing and a-looting,

Known everywhere as Mad MacDee.

But soon I was wanted,

A big dollar capture fee.

So I abandoned ship

As life got too hard for me.

Now I’m a teacher

With wild lives left behind.

Hoping the authorities

Will think I’m too hard to find.

I enjoyed being a singer

And a wrestler was fun to be.

But now pretty words

Is what life’s about for me.
