Sir Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall

Singer Sir Mick Jagger
Walks with a swagger
Wriggling snakelike hips
Pouts with big rubbery lips


Texan model Jerry Hall
Is very skinny and tall
Their Bali wedding wasn’t valid
Mick no longer lives on salad!

Hugs, Sandra Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 1/19/2019 10:14:00 AM I was horrified to read their marriage was annulled so her divorce settlement was less than if they were married It's not like he can't afford it!

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 1/16/2019 2:05:00 PM Mick's not the handsomest fella in the world, but he's dated some beautiful women. Nicely penned, Jan. Congratulations on your second-place win! Best wishes, Carolyn Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 1/19/2019 9:30:00 AM Yes he sure has had his fair share of females in his life, jerry hall is now married to Rupert Murdoch.. he's in his 80s and she is his 4th wife I think!

Gershon Wolf Date: 1/14/2019 10:36:00 AM I just love the non-sequitur (for me, anyway) at the end of the second stanza. Still laughing... G.L. in the contest, Jan! :) gw Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 1/14/2019 1:03:00 PM I can only guess he must have a great lawyer to have the marriage annulled, they have 4 children together. I am sure she came out with a decent settlement but not as much if they had legally been married!@=_ hugs Jan xx

Andrea Dietrich Date: 1/11/2019 8:14:00 PM Love how you did this. I know nothing about Mick Jagger's life these days.

Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 1/12/2019 1:17:00 AM I don't follow either but think one recent girlfriend L'Wren Scott committed suicide. hugs jan xx

Alexis Y. Date: 1/11/2019 2:49:00 PM Lol! Jan, You nalied this challenge. I liked the couple you chose.So they weren't really married? It looks like a winner to me. I wish you the best of luck in the contest:-) Alexis Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 1/11/2019 2:59:00 PM The marriage was 'annulled' as it was declared it wasn't legal - I guess it would have made a huge difference to the 'settlement, she's now married media mogul Rupert Murdoch who at 87 is considerably older than she is. :-) hugs Jan xx
