Wonderful parody of the Kiki Dee song Shaun...very clever! The U.K press/ media seem to build up stars only to bring them down (as you rightly point out in stanza 3) ..I'm thinking of Amy Winehouse here. It's definitely a fame can be fatal inspired five from me.

A wonderful poem that vividly depicts the world of depression. Liked the title. Beautifully crafted with nice rhyme. Five Stars! ! !

This resonates so much with me in view of Mental Health Day and also remembering people like the lovely Caroline Flack who sadly felt that their 'Stardom' was no comforter to their pain. Well written Shaun especially when dealing with such a sensitive subject 5***** my friend for giving us all cause for thought..Stay well and safe in all respects. Lodigiana x
