Gogglebox.
Watching you watching others.
Sat with your sisters and brothers.
Your fathers and mothers.
Laughter and tears.
You couldn’t get closer.
Now a space on the chair.
They once sat there.
Charlie.
Who is going to hit the skins?
Tap the pedal, tickle the tins?
Drive on the beat thing.
A silent gentleman.
Who drove the words he sings.
Now a space on the chair.
An imposter waits there.
Don.
Brotherly love, a bye bye love.
Too many shows,the highs and lows.
That’s what fame does.
Wake up and dream.
From the stars above.
Now a space on the chair.
For Suzy to wake and stare.
Sean.
Comedy’s a hard and brutal game.
Most comedians sound the same.
Instant glory from internet fame.
I know your name.
The voice and the face.
Now a space on the chair.
Where a tiger stands and stares.
