Johnny Neurotic (Free verse) by Enkidu
I was an actor once
For all you know I still am
Keanu taught me all I know
I know that if you talk
Talk slow and deliberate
In a surfer accent
Whatever the role
You will succeed
In scrounging at the bottom
But at least you never lose hope that
Someday, a day long from now
Those famous words
"I know kung-fu"
Then riches to more riches!
The flock shall come
And they will praise you!
What skill!
What grace!
But it will all end...
Oh! And how it will end!
Larry Fishburne will spurn
Carrie Anne will plan
your demise and
The special effect
The ultimate special effect
That is your life
Will slide back into its DVD case
And find it final resting place
Next to a copy
Of Bill and Ted's: Enormously Mind-Numbing Adventure
And you shall be happy
And you shall be free
