Celebrity Limerick

Celebrity Limerick 

Performing on stage he’d get sweaty
His hair colored blonde like spaghetti 
Though now no new tune
He left us too soon
We’ll miss you, the legend, Tom Petty

Gosh, he was a great performer. Surely he's missed and his hair did look just as you say in your clever limerick. Congrats! Hugs, Carolyn

There was something in Petty's voice that reminded me of Bob Dylan, but Petty was a better singer overall. In my book, Dylan is pretty much unsurpassed as a lyricist. We actually "studied "his lyrics in high school. Had a very cool creative writing teacher.
