I heard the news today….

[Sir_Nigel]

I wouldn’t say I was a fan

of that gifted but much troubled man

 

But I hope they’ll remember his prime

Not the ravages of fortune and time

 

They’ll remember his work and not ask -

What’s with the hat and the mask.

 

Just put on their favourite song

Without wondering where it all went wrong

 

They’ll forget all the legal wrangling

and forgive the baby dangling

 

and the Neverland fairground and toys

and dubious relations with boys

 

They won’t waste their time on reflection

of his rather odd nose and complexion

 

they’ll reflect on this curious subject

and acknowledge that nobody’s perfect

 

So remember the man at his best

and discard the unfortunate rest.

This says everything that I feel about Michael Jackson.

[Tradescanthia]

Here here, his contribution to music will live on. Will we ever forget 'Thriller' ?

I wasnt a fan of his high pitched singing voice (Im a Sinatra fan) but his dancing was superb!

Again, very good Nigel. Twas such a sad end for a truly troubled man.

 

Have you ever considered writing lyrics or putting your poems to music?
