Bono's The Worst Investor "Ever" ('Cept Maybe Me)


Just read
this. And I love U2, always have, from Boy on, and Bono is a world gent, one of few, but in a moment of satirical trepidation when it came to his omnipresent amount of charity work, I penned this (literal) sonnet (had a bad habit of those for a while) on 8/12/2006 (comes out more like a limerick, appropriate in the Irish context). God bless him (looks good as the pope huh)... btw this was months prior to the South Park episode that broaches the same themes (they should owe me, ha), and again seriously I've long admired Bono, but can't we laugh/knock sometimes our idols? our darlings as Luc Sante would have it?:

Bono My Hero
by Casey McKinney

You noticed this trend lately? The Bono thing?
Bono on Bukowski, Bono on Cohen,
Bono at the Superbowl, the White House,
Bono running for World Bank President.

The other day I had to shit real bad -
kind with no time to check for paper first.
Hurried, fearing Hershey squirts - just made the
bathroom. Then spied that naked, cardboard tube.

Now what to do? Had a girl on my couch,
flipping magazines, waiting next moves, so
thought fast - what would Jesus...no...Bono do?
That famed Irish ass painted with doo-doo?

Cellphoned 911: "Dublin please?...U2?"
Then, no shit, in a jif, BONO CAME THROUGH.


Should have never touched that Palm investment Bono, but what do I know, I may be a worse investor.

Cheers, CM.
