CHILDCARE FOR THE RICH AND FAMOUS

Kevin Federline wants his children to work in fast food restaurants. The fledging rapper, who is expecting his second child with wife Britney Spears, said: “My kids are going to have to learn what a real job is, what life is. You don’t have it easy with me. Period. My kids are going to work at Taco Bell, dammit.”
Meanwhile, Britney Spears has reportedly signed preliminary divorce papers.

It’s certain that fame
and money corrupt
as nearly completely as power
and that a famous man’s children
left wholly unchecked
will be first in the queue
when the engines of greed
are finally set to ‘devour’

but if you began at the bottom
then sending them back
to your circle of trailer trash hell
won’t teach them anything
except how to hate you.
Give them books, give them freedom
but don’t make them work
at Macdonalds or Taco Bell

It is certain that fame
corrupts quite completely
and gives parents screwy ideas
A child of the famous
will grow up too fast
in an unreal world
with vast expectations
and will suffer from emotional arrears

but there are ways to save them
from arrogance and greed
and an unflagging sense of self-worth.
Either give them love, attention
and an ordinary schooling
or strangle them swiftly
(when the nurse isn’t looking)
immediately after their birth.
