Best Meat Loaf Poems
Things need to get straight
Somewhere there are pearly gates
Using goodness as bait
White and mystical
Healthy and physical
Then there is standing there in the street
A man filled with theatrical heat
Underneath the dark sky
Shifting through the stage reality lie
Illuminated by a lamp
Similar to the dock at the crystal lake camp
Reading casting ads
All seem tasteless and bad
Decided to go
To the one called ‘a picture show’
What was this?
Low budget biz?
“It could be an opera like the star-studded Tommy
Or G rated James Bond magical car where the kids can go with Mommy”
Said the marketing pro
Who was ‘in the know’
Displaying advice
Being nice
Claiming to be an expert
Side hustling selling his concert shirt
Rocky idea originally failed
Got out of jail
Finding bail
Came back
From critic’s attack
Going the distance
Having persistence
Never needed a sequel
To equal
The first one
Still is so much fun
Shown at midnight
Not really looking for a fright
Instead wanting partying might
Tonight, somewhere plays a band
In a garage or on the sand
They mimic a song
Tempting and wrong
About a bat who got out of hell
A story the lyrics did tell
As they turn into who they really are
Visiting friends hanging at the bar
Telling them soon they will spend what is in the tip jar
Observing from above
Wearing a heavenly usher’s glove
Now filled with love
An inexpensive piece of meat
Late hours add ketchup, it is a delightful treat
Enjoying bread and wine
Payment for his time
Realizing he really did shine
Down there
Taking the youthful sinful dare
Entertaining using character flair
For all to share
Until we all gather up there
Over meatloaf that is now gourmet
And to be frank ‘he did it his way’
Dearest Betty, we miss you so much,
so many characters we got to know,
Your wonderful, unique, funny touch
A special one ~ "Rose's" Golden glow!
"SueAnn"made us laugh ~ MTM fare,
baked pies, made meatloaf, and sexy eyes,
shut oven door with her derriere,
innovator of delicious surprise!
You were guest on all major talk shows,
your credits are long, including songs,
your emmys~so many~the list overflows
you were everywhere and always belonged.
Yet I'll miss most your sweet, dimpled smile
and your wit~always a touch risque'.
You warmed our hearts for a nice, long while,
Still...I so wish you could have stayed.

written by James Edward Lee Sr. ©
He was born in Dallas, Texas as Marvin Lee Aday.
Most of us know him as "Meat Loaf" today.
He became a great actor and recording artist.
His hit records comprise a very long list.
A great career got of the launching pad with "Bat Out of Hell".
His role as Eddie in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" was swell.
Meat Loaf as a singer and actor has been quite prolific.
Up to today, multitudes of fans consider him terrific.
I thank wikipedia.org for valuable information I obtained to write this poem.
The world turning vegan and we’ve lost our Meat Loaf
Nothing really rocks and nothing really rolls
music that was worth the cost
A real dead singer we loved
A real dead sinner leave us
And if he’s gotta be dammed
you know he wants to be dammed dancing through the night with you,
And now we won’t do that
Forget dreaming every night of our lives,
No way, I would do anything for loaf,
but he won’t come back
took the words right out of his mouth,
It must have been that COVID 19 weaz
Like a bat out of hell was unwell when the mourners come
Now life is over like a bat out of hell he is gone gone gone
A few lyrics of Meat Load set up this tribute
so saddened by the news in my final salute
