Apollo- Youtube Star
The video loads
Slower than a snail
But once it does,
You wish it hadn't
"Hey guys! It's me,
Apollo,
Here to sing a song about
What else,
Me.
But before I do,
Make sure to like,
Comment, and
Subscribe
To my channel
Let's get started"
He holds up a guitar
And you cringe,
Then the singing
Starts up
"I am Apollo
Dude of the sun
I like to play music
& get some stuff done
I have lots of
Girlfriends, admirers too
I don't date just anyone
I might just date you"
He pauses, and
Your ears rejoice
Then He glares at
The camera
"That reminds me, Daphne- I know you're watching, so I'm calling you out now- It's not cool to turn yourself into a tree just because you 'don't want to go out with me' "
You close your eyes
And swallow your
Revulsion as
The song starts again
“I see the future
Most all of the time
I make awesome predictions
And I make them rhyme
I heal all diseases-
And make them as well
I use perfect arrows
And choose where they fell”
He stops again
And you hope he
Keeps stopping
Please, keep stopping
“Wait- no. That doesn’t sound right. Um . . . oh! I choose where they fall. Yeah. I- but, no, that doesn’t rhyme . . .”
He taps his guitar
And for a moment,
You have the sudden urge to
Gouge out your eyes
He shrugs, and resumes his song
The video drags on,
And so does your urge
To die painfully
Immediately
Finally, it ends
The screen goes dark
You lower the cell phone
And breathe
Then you look up
Uncomfortable,
And make eye contact
With your brother
“So?”
Apollo asks
“What did you think?”
