Poetry: Child Star

Mother  thank you for your child

You can leave now for a while

C’mon kid you’ll be a star

Let’s take a ride in my car

Look at that smile

Look at that face

You’ve got style

You’ve got grace

I can make you a movie star

Stay with me kid

You’ll go far

I know how to make you bling

Let’s see you dance

Let’s hear you sing

Are you nervous are you shy

Lean on me

I’ll be your guide

You won’t have to pay a thing

But it’s going to cost you everything

No, you won’t have to pay a thing

But it’s going to cost you everything

I’m going to make you a superstar

Stick with me kid

You’ll go far

Now it’s time to meet my friends

You’ll thank me

In the end

I’m going to make you a child star

You’re so very special

Do you believe you are?

You won’t have to pay a thing

But it’s going to cost you everything
