Look at Me

by Edwin Fairbrother

What do you see?
Success and prestige
With iced bubble tea

Always well-groomed
My life, filled with joys
Fun and excitement
And big fancy toys

A life free of problems
My routines are worth noting
If you keep looking long enough
On my outfits, you’re voting

Sometimes you’ll smile
Other times you’ll scorn
And maybe if you’re lucky
Treated with soft-core porn

Waving my arms
Twerking my hips
Watch me dance like a douche
While I pout my huge lips

All over the world
The best places I know
They pay me to tell you
The next place you should go

So, keep up your gaze
Keep looking at me
But don’t expect me to tell you
Life’s best things are free
