Kenny Rogers

It happened again this afternoon A lady requested my autograph Mistaking me for Kenny Rogers Sure gave me a great big laugh If only I had Kenny's money I'd be chuckling all the way to the bank Right now I'm avoiding all my creditors My bank account's coming up blank Perhaps I'll become a male prostitute An easy way to make a few bucks Still look pretty good for a dude my age Though I sometimes waddle like a duck But perhaps that's not for this old guy My morals are quite high you know It's extremely rare when I'm at the beach For any of my white bits to show Guess I'll continue this sneaky charade Sign Kenny on my restaurant checks Why not, I might as well take advantage Of our amazing similarities, by heck! © Jack Ellison 2014 A re-broadcast

Very entertaining piece and another that caught my eye. Got to be honest here----I laugh every time I see that Geico commericial with Kenny Rogers. He also totally ruined his career after he rearranged his face. That saddened me. Peace. Thomas

As an aside, I was the banjo player in a group called the "Canadiana Folksingers" way back in the early sixties. There were six of us in the group. We appeared on TV and made a couple of albums. It was about the time of The Christy Minstrels. Then the Beatles hit the scene and that was the end of the folk era! People think I resemble Kenny the way he used to look!!!

You go Jack! Dragon thinks he looks like Godzilla... But I think not! Godzilla wouldn't be caught dead in a pale blue jumper with a matching blue blinged out bow in his top notch! Silly Dragon is still dreaming of fame... I can tell... He's decided he wants his likeness to be in a wax museum... I think right next to the fire extinguisher would be perfect... LOL
