I laughed so hard over this one Jan. As you know I made it a fave and I would've had it in first place too! Congratulations! ; )

Thanks Connie, your comment and Rico's have made my day, I'm just happy to be on the list - I'm wary to write for limerick contests as I've had 2 n/a's and when you see the winners .... will say no more lol:-) hugs Jan xx

oh yes Michael could definitely sing with or without holding his "thing" his hips held the beat as he watched his feet Maybe he just didn't like to swing (as in music tempo) great one Jan my effort is poor here just for fun...Seren

Hello Jan … hello, the fun police get a mention. They're like a jumbo jet landing - the engines stop except their whining goes on and on - good one Jan - Lindsay

Jan Allison
Date: 8/22/2018 3:28:00 AM

I've experienced the fun police on here many times - if I can't make folks laugh then its them that needs locking up lol:-) We need more laughter in our lives and some folk just need to get a life!:-) hugs jan xx

And just think, MJ did not live long enough to go from crotch to crotchety ...And that was likely all for the best... ~ Gershon

I wasn't even sure about putting this in the contest as I had lots of reads but no comments but now its my most commented on poem in weeks apart from the collaboration which ended up getting POTW lol!:-) hugs Jan xx

Jan Allison
Date: 8/20/2018 6:50:00 PM

aww thanks Connie that is such a lovely comment! I wasn't sure about entering this one in the contest as I had no comments and over 30 reads but now I have so many comments and will leave it in the contest:-) hugs Jan xx

HA. that is so funny to recall him doing that. Good one, Jan. I need to think something up quick.

Jan Allison
Date: 8/20/2018 5:47:00 PM

I was unsure if I should submit it to the contest but as I enter fewer and fewer these days I thought I'd take the risk with this one:-) hugs Jan xx

I loved Michael Jackson, "Billie Jean" was one of my favorites, I remember watching the World Premiere of "Thriller," still miss him-

Jan Allison
Date: 8/20/2018 3:33:00 PM

I think many can remember staying up to watch Thriller when it was shown for the first time on TV:-) hugs Jan xx

Chris Green

Date: 8/20/2018 3:02:00 PM

That was funny. Loved it Jan

Jan Allison
Date: 8/20/2018 3:13:00 PM

I was in 2 minds about entering it for the contest and have another one in reserve, but with all the positive comments I will risk it in the contest. its a premiere so I know places are limited and to be honest I use the contests as writing prompts and enter fewer and fewer these days:-) hugs jan xx

Thank you for the witty entertainment, Jan. I'm afraid MJ never really managed to 'grab' my attention! Hugs // paul

Jan Allison
Date: 8/20/2018 2:42:00 PM

ha ha ha thanks Paul I love that comment:-) hugs Jan xx

Dale Gregory Cozart

Date: 8/20/2018 2:28:00 PM

So, true. I never cared for him much, but I love your limerick.

Jan Allison
Date: 8/20/2018 2:36:00 PM

Thanks Dale, he was an odd persona for sure but his music was awesome:-) hugs Jan xx

John Gondolf

Date: 8/20/2018 1:12:00 PM

Thanks for the chuckle, Jan. I never could understand the purpose for him grabbing himself, it didn't lend anything to the song or dance. Best of luck in the contest. John

Jan Allison
Date: 8/20/2018 2:26:00 PM

lol

John Gondolf
Date: 8/20/2018 1:45:00 PM

Perhaps it is insecurity about his masculinity....checking to make sure he was still a man...

Jan Allison
Date: 8/20/2018 1:30:00 PM

I agree John it was a bizarre move and he would give a little yelp,when I googled about MJ I found that Justin Bieber is copying it now - ugh lol:-) hugs Jan xx
