John Lennon 80 Years Old

On the 9th of October 1940, a legend was born
He had two children one named Julian and one named Sean
A lady called yoko she was his life
In 1969 she became his wife

In his early life he lived with his aunt
He loved being mischievous and playing the odd prank
He sadly lost his mother and faced life without her
Sometimes things in life are just so unfair 

He became part of a band the famous fab four
Every time they sang the audience began to roar
They toured around the world with their many different songs
Bringing excitement to the crowd as they all sing along

Somebody tragically took his life taking him away too soon
Left so many memories he played a good tune
This is in memory of him eighty years on 
Please remember him for what he has done

For a time, more people around this world shared his dream than that of Donald J. Trump! Aloha! Rico
