The Paramount Poem by Randy McClave

As idols and sensations they all once were known
Performing on the stage and singing in the microphone,
Groupies and paparazzi followed them around the globe
Pursuing them because of their antics, and also their wardrobe.

Their tickets were usually sold out in a moment's flash
A cost of a ticket was usually equaled to a weeks pay for the bash,
Their records and their music was listened to by millions
And in their banks alone, we all knew that they all had billions.

From one concert to another they would always travel by plane
For their fans they were always ready, to sing and dance and entertain,
They lived in their mansions and we always heard them on the radio
But, that was when they were popular, and also many decades ago.

Now when they travel, they travel primarily by car or by bus
Through time and finances, they now all have become one of us,
Now their tickets are being sold slowly at a great discount
And when they do perform, they always end up at the Paramount.
