Lennon Incognito

Lennon Incognito

Was is that bad John?
You’re looking like rather
White and sheepish!
Was the Beatle-mania bad enough
For you to resort to faking your own death?

Couldn’t you take your own advice 
and just imagine?

Was Yoko Ono that hard to deal with?
Was her bare ass that bad
To see day in and day out?

Why do you look so gloomy?
What’s with the black sheath outfit?
You think no one will recognize 
You with your overgrown
Shaggy beard?


Wrote this for a poetry contest.  It's a parody poem about John Lennon.  I loved John Lennon 
and his music and his wife.  It's just a spoof.

Very strong parody here Marie, I wish he had been able to fake it as well. Four are now two. Please check your soup mail. All the best. JT
