Notorious Begins with “Not”
Though I’d love to be more notable
for poems that are more quotable,
I’d find it far less glorious
to simply be notorious.
Paris Hilton of video fame.
I’m in no sexy videos.
No married presidents for beaus.
I have no shocking tales to tell
of hobnobbing with the cartel.
I haven’t knocked off any banks,
or perpetrated major pranks.
I leave my bosoms in my blouse.
I’ve never “offed” my folks or spouse.
Menendez Brothers & O.J. Simpson
I simply have no talent for
larceny or sin or gore.
So even if I yearned to be
notorious—it’s just not me!
“Notorious” is today’s prompt.

Some of us have to go for the small fame — like telling dumb jokes, never tipping, borrowing books and never returning them, handing out recipes with missing ingredients. 🙂
