Poetry Prompt 2: Famous Person

[billy]

i really struggled with this one todd
i couldn't think of anyone as such, not anyone i know a lot about.
so here goes;

Homer; not the one the one who wrote the Iliad

A forgetful blimp of a yellow man
with a fetish for blue bouffant
and duff beer. A walking addict of a guy
who has a penchant for pork chops,
apple pie, and little pigs.
A 'must have' personality
in an underachiever's bag;
with attention span of a gold fish,
the shallowness of a puddle,
and the gall of a gibbon.
He flukes a path of golden balled gaiety,
bouncing from one uber exploit of daring do
to another, as an astronaut or superstar.
His hobby is stupidity without compromise.
He inspires me to giddy heights with his love
of life, danger and that frightful thing called family.
