Stephanie Rice poem
Sephanie Rice[1], please take my advice
Fame comes at a price
Your futures a vice
Don't choose the sickness
The suffocating slickness
The Miranda Kerr[2] flirts with Rove[3]
PR networking sycophantic shitness
Of the Surface Paradise
If you want the Rasputins[4]
The drama queens
The air-kissing Medusas[5] of the A-List scene
Good luck. I'm with the Doctor[6]
Marieke[7], Claytron[8] and Robbie[9]
And they don't give a buck[10]
I'm DC Root. And who the fuck is Rory?[11]
