King of Pop

(In memory of Micheal Jackson)

An icon he was, Our king of
Pop
Rising during the Eighties, to
the Very top
Making himself out to be, the 
cream of the crop
Carrying on for his Public, as
if he couldn't stop
Like, he for Our undivided at-
tention, wished to shop
Only to leave Us, at age 50,
causing for Our hearts to drop

He came like a meteor from the 70s ... I'll be there and Ben made him famous later when he was still with J5 (shutting down the Osmonds with stagecraft).
