That's Z as in Liza
Liza Minnelli, who somehow survives,
In spite of the drugs and the sex and the booze,
Lived the intensest of show business lives,
Hobbing and nobbing with showbiz who’s whos.
Liza Minnelli, a cultural icon,
Engendering stories in tabloid and mag,
Victim of gossip that you can click “like” on,
Often the subject of tributes in drag.
Liza Minnelli, a constructed persona,
Deep in the grip of some trauma or other,
Liza Minnelli who never has known a
Moment of rest from the ghost of her mother.
