James Franco on James Franco

The only thing greater than me,

Is the word greatness itself. Out of

True greatness come words like "neat"

And tea[ch]er. Both of those words,

I also am.

A Poem

A poem should have no

Beginning, nor end. It shant

Require admirers, nor follow

popular trends. I know a few people,

Like Seth and Lindsey. Seth is one of

My friends. I painted him naked.

Lindsey is a confused girl. I wrote a

Poem about her.

Social Commentaries

Some people call Pineapple

Express

A comedy. This seems a bit

Naïve, don't you think? Because

If you really think about it,

It was a social commentary,

commenting mostly on

our society…Like The Catcher

in the Rye.

One Time On Broadway

One time on Broadway,

Did I mention I was on Broadway?

It was a Broadway play about a guy named

Lenny, and a stupider guy named George.

One reviewer of the play was an idiot.

And another thing! If the show was

So bad, then why did I get so much attention?

James Franco is

an American actor,

director,

screenwriter,

producer,

teacher,

author and

poet.

April of 2012

In April 2012,

The popular

Jewish magazine, Shalom Life,

Named my brother and I

#2 on the list of most handsome/

Talented Jewish guys. To that, I

Say, "Shalom, Life."

Some of the things that I have done

Harvard or Brown,

Or Yale or Princeton,

Colgate, Cornell,

NYU, Brooklyn.

UCLA, no Dartmouth,

No Stanford. RISD,

Colombia, Warren Wilson;

Those are some of the schools

That I have attended or visited.

Remember*

Don’t forget that

I

Have also done a fair bit of

Painting. Painting is art.

I am

Art.

Most Important Thing

Nothing is more important

In this world,

Than self-

ies. I take selfies. And paint

them. I am self-

less. I am filled with my

self. My work is profound.

I am American, like Bob Dole,

Bob Dylan, etc.

Sad but true

Unfortunately for everyone,

I am here. And guess what,

I am not going anywhere.

In fact, I just got certified to be an

Architect. I am going to build the tallest

Building in Minneapolis! Oh and guess

What else? I am also a marine biologist and

I decided to switch the names of sharks and

Dolphins so now everyone has to.Lol…

Andrew Meisel is a writer living in NYC who loves soccer, hates James Franco and obviously wrote all of these poems himself.
