Spin Doctor
“You’re the ultimate spin doctor”…
Just like a politician,
you are the ultimate spin doctor,
MUST protect oneself
(AKA your fragile ego)
at all costs,
There’s little empathy,
Like George Constanza,
it doesn’t matter how many old ladies
you knock over to get to the fire exit,
to allegedly protect them -
“Right-i-o!”, I say.
We see through you,
your lies won’t fly here,
You’re just a broken record -
“Next track please!”
Your ego may feel fatter than a balloon,
but to me you are all gassed out!

George Costanza in action, listen to him plead his case after - very funny!

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

This was perfect. Great work.
This is brilliant! I feel the layers of potential application. ‘Like George Constanza’ Perfect. Laughing out loud! Pauline 🌸
Like George Constanza, it doesn’t matter how many old ladies you knock over to get to the fire exit, to allegedly protect them - This made me giggle. An Unforgettable scene. George in his panic mode. Excellent poem as always
Wow this is amazing, I love the way you approached it. It’s like putting a mirror to the face, showing the real reason behind what seemed like a kind gesture. Very thought provoking and groovy.
Good ole George crazy. Friends covered it all. eye opening poetry.
Can't believe I missed this! OUT OF MY WAY FUCKOS! 😂
Amazingly Written
Every man, woman, and invalid for themselves! (In a matter of speaking) Congratulations on a well-deserved Top Story, Grz!
Congratulations on your top story, Nice!
Back to say congratulations on your Top Story! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
Love this.
Loved the shade we threw here Grz!!! I also appreciate the Seinfeld reference and clip!! Great work and congrats on Top Story!!
Congrats on the TS.
Congrats on Top Story - deserved it!
Ah, George. He was always hilarious as a crazy narcissist. Should be a politician.
George Constanza...that made me giggle :) Awesome poem that leaves us with something to think about! Congrats on Top Story! :)
So many silver tongued excuses out there! Great poem, Grz!
Outstanding Grz. The poem in itself speaks volumes on the human condition for survival. We will do almost anything to survive. Great clip from Seinfeld - one of the great shows of all-time!!!
Excellent poetry! George was a character,lol. Unfortunately we all experienced bumping into others in our flight in trying to be safe, our human nature to try survive sometimes kicks in unconsciously
hahaha. George Costanza...what a fella. This is a great poem, full of wit and wisdom too!
Ah, the days of Seinfeld, Elaine, George, Jerry et al. The poem so easily reflects the situation. You captured it brilliantly. Kafkaesque does not necessarily have to be about oneself...George was totally Kafkaesque in his behavior. Funny and terrible at the same time. Hope you had fun with it, I think you did. HA!
"How do you live with yourself?" "It's not easy" Hahahahhahahahahaha that made me laugh so much! Gosh he's such a Narcissistic delusional gaslighter! I loved your poem!
What D.J. said. So funny. And many great moments from Seinfeld! "No soup for you!" "A Festivus for the rest of us!" "Serenity now!" to name a couple of faves. And don't get me started on Kramer!
Costanze made cowardice an art form.
Oh, I remember that Seinfeld episode! Nice poem.
