Tom Titter Bottom was Tinsel Town’s cat mascot flying ace.
He was a friend of Howard Hughes, for he knew his place.
Realizing that Hughes always had to have the utmost attention.
Tom Titter Bottom was a pilot whose nerves had steel suspensions.
Onetime Hughes asked him for advice on Jane Russell’s new bra.
Tom Titter Bottom did not see any of what Howard Hughes saw.
Human women did not intrigue Tom Titter Bottom in any kind of way.
He knew he would be in and out of several cat beds by the end of day.
I've ridden zebras on the Serengeti,
swam the wildest seas;
I've played golf with old Jack Benny
-brought Ali to his knees.
I've killed zombies in my bedroom,
a werewolf on the lawn
-fought vampires at the edge of doom
before the break of dawn.
I've spent the night with Marilyn,
had a beer with Gable
-watched Astaire's light-footed spin
with Ginger on my table.
I helped Howard Hughes with all his schemes
-sang with Elvis as they screamed,
but then, like life, just what it seems
-a crazy mixed up old weird dream!
Brilliance and Madness
Howard Robard Hughes
Famously rich recluse
Dreams led him to the lap of luxury
Followed by nightmarish mysophobic OCD
Rich playboy aviator Howard Hughes
With movie starlets kept himself amused
Dated Katherine Hepburn
Bette Davis took her turn
And still more, which kept the tabloids confused
Born Howard Robard Hughes to a rich family
With English, Welsh and French Huguenot ancestry
Enjoyed a successful multi-faceted business career
But aviation and aerospace were his favorite frontier
Just read an article about the almost 500
pictures that Melania had written. The writer
was composing a psychological analysis of
her. She is a lonely sort kind of in hiding
and a recluse like Howard Hughes. Article
was by Kate Imbach.
No Use Melania Became a Recluse
Melania gave up and said what is the use;
In her mind and body became a recluse;
By herself stayed;
Even when she laid,
And she became a female Howard Hughes.

Fade Out
Of course an actor must create a role,
but in a sense, the role will shape the actor.
How do we, then, identify the factors
which forge a human being's spiritual pole?
A work of art their only outward goal,
a group of people sought the open range.
So, did they undergo subliminal change,
or were they damaged goods before? The whole
ordeal of desert filming may, in fact,
have served to force the cracks apart, but cracked
they were, already. As with Howard Hughes,
perhaps the artifice and real life fused,
though life was bleeding out as Miller typed.
A swirl of desert dust serves as a "wipe".
Germaphobe Howard Hughes - reclusive billionaire -
made a plane of wood and loved to ride the air!
Bought his own hotel, just to hide himself from sight
and watched his own TV station’s movies late at night.
Ime wondering about moe hunt,s health .but allso about Howard Hughes wealth , &

PEE WEE HERMAN
Thought cops wouldn’t determine,
he put himself in that popcorn box.
Maybe he should have used his socks.
HOWARD HUGHES
A world famous recluse.
Millions for planes, women and cars,
treasured most his urine in jars.
CATHERINE THE GREAT
A czarina whose needs couldn’t wait.
Rumored to have a private stable,
with horses…. if her Cossacks weren’t able.
AESOP
May his fables never stop,
true treasures among many Greek joys.
Whereas Socrates, Plato, chose educating boys.
GEORGE WASHINGTON
Add to the amazing things he’s done,
was never caught chewing a mint wreath,
while mixing politics and funky breath from wood teeth.
PONCE de LEON
I hate to tell you son,
you searched Florida for the fountain of youth.
AARP there first, how’d you miss the booth.
MARILYN MONROE
There’s a girl I wanted to know.
It could’ve worked out fine,
if Bobby and Jack didn’t head the line
Howard Hughes
was always in the news
He came up with one heck of a crazy notion.
A plane filled with ping pong balls, should it fall into the ocean.

To Your Heart, You Must Be True
by Rick Rucker
Some of my friends express fear,
That you and I have got so near.
Though I'm sure they all mean well,
Where they can go, I'll gladly tell!
We both were searching for a loving mate,
Fearing it might be too late.
I recently felt that I would die alone,
Like Howard Hughes, talking to others, just by phone!
You fixed me up, you got me well,
For you, I'd happily traverse, naked, HELL!
If they could but feel what I feel,
That this is a dream, too amazing to be real,
Each one of them would exchange
With me, their lives they would rearrange!
Today is Christmas Day
Today, I could not, my Heart weigh,
You have made it so light,
At a second's notice, it takes flight!
There is clearly nothing I can do,
To adequately recompense you
For all the things that you have done,
Save to let you know that you are THE ONE!
I seen a deepness, hard to describe, it was in only one man's eyes the pain was
there and I could see. But in disbelief I did not go. I wish that I could go back
again so I could call this man a friend. He was caught in a soul with no relief, the
soul was searching for just belief. But i can't find the reason why it travels in time
in disbelief. I wonder why that I can't seek I think it's further then I can reach but
for some reason I regret the soul I search is only
death. Dedicated Howard Hughes
