Death Of A Star

Watching
the bibidee-bobbird die:
through a telescope imaged for the TV's tube.

Watching
the bibidee-bobbird die:
a critic in the heart and a viewerless screen.

Watching

the bibidee-bobbird die:
his frail last words, what can they mean.

Watching
the bibidee-bobbird die:
ratings plummetted, down he fell.

Watching

the bibidee-bobbird die
why he failed, noboday can tell.

Watching
the bibidee-bobbird die
he's gone where all stuffed puppets go.

Watching
the bibidee-bobbird die
a dry lament, a big farewell, another show.
