A Tribute To Cherilyn Sarkisian

Wearing matching wooly vests
looking like two hippies 
singing 
“I Got You Babe”
an iconic song at best
she out did all the rest

That’s Cher !

Sitting on a horse
lamenting 
of course
about being
“A Half-Breed”

That’s Cher !

A woman way before her time
she ran around with 
“Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves”
all the men
laid their money down
when Cher came to town

Only woman in the world
who gets away 
with strutting her stuff
in her underwear
I doubt she wanted 
“To Turn Back Time”

She is greater 
than she ever was
If you don’t think so
“Snap Out Of It”
