Did You Know

Success of self named pens in Europe 
Made the U.S. the next best niche
Marcel Bich dropped the H in his name
Afriad they would call it a *****

Michael Keaton was running wild
In the title role in Beetlejuice
If it was up to the writers
Sammy Davis Jr. would be let loose

Now they are called flight attendants 
But about their name before the gripe
Stewardesses is the longest word
Only the left hand is needed to type

Davy Jones was a popular Monkee
As a matter of fact he was so showy 
Another London singer named David Jones
Had to change his name to David Bowie

Director Wes Craven was bullied 
In school before all of his fame
He named a villain after the kid
Freddy Krueger his infamous name

How in the world did you figure that stewardess was typed entirely by the left hand? You are an amazing poet, and a deep thinking one too. Your poems are wonderful!

Deep perhaps, but really more just kind of twisted with an uncanny ability to make myself seem almost normal! Thank you again Caren for you kind words!
