158 - Legacy

I wish I was like Monica

All sweet and so sublime

She’ll help just anybody

No matter what the time

Instead I am like Derek

He’s a horrible piece of work

Quite sick and funny in the head

What a fucking jerk

In the middle there is David

He’s quite contemporary

Not good not bad at all

Just sort of ordinary

Who would you really like to be?

Is it best to be memorable?

Do you want a great legacy?

Or be labelled as unstable?
