Paul Cornett

Popular



What makes a person popular?


Is it the clothes they wear

or the attitude they share?

Are they really all that mean

or is that just the scene?


If any of this is true

what does that mean to you?

Could we all be just as popular as them?

Then why are they popular at only age ten?


What makes a person popular?

I can not say.

But I swear to be different from them!

The popularity can stay with that folk

for I will be friends with every last bloke!
