I’ve recently declined your invitations
Because there are at least a hundred valid reasons
One should never negotiate or try to reason
With a terrorist or a tourist (for that matter)
For each are very dangerous
The more obsequious the star
The harder and more likely it will fall
But if you happen to catch one
Please remember the following
That when you put it in your jar
You must close the lid immediately
I beg your pardon
Darling what’s the use in crying
You as well as anyone  
Must know (by now) how we are all trying
To be the best we can
Given the circumstances
