Letters to Rufus - Fame

Dear Rufus;

My heros have always been Astros.
My daydreams have always been real.
Real in a way that only ushers sunshine.
Real in a way that only strengthens glee.

Rufus I am being frank I'll be a ruler.
Rufus I am sure I will only lead.
And when I am singing rock anthems in Toledo
I will remember this note sent Godspeed.

-----------------------------------------

Twenty years later I find this paper.
Gibberish written by blade in a tree.
Granny fell in love with Grandpa Sonny
Blah Blah Blah I'm smokin' pea

Fame is an ill-forgotten illusion
The Tony's celebrate BS on daytime TV
I am making up these things I am writing
Cuz reality shanked me at the knees.

My boss is calling me back to the quarry...my pick and hammer respond to the plea.

Signed,
Famous Luther
