Just a girl looking for love
Eager to prove herself worthy
Another time, another place
No one knew her heart
Singing and dancing,
as the last to arrive,
he outshone his brothers
in the Jackson Five.
Moonwalking across the stage,
he was quite the fancy dancer,
but what happened to his other glove,
is a question no one can answer.
Comparing the early to his later work,
you can hear it when he sings,
Michael the 'King of Pop',
put a new complexion on things.
But in '85, with 'We Are The World',
he was dead wrong,
when he wrote the lyric
to the song,
as, from sea to shining sea,
on this globe there is much more,
than only that there north American shore.
Yet, Billie Jean (not his lover) was just a girl
who claims that he is the one,
and Bubbles brought on many troubles,
but the chimp is not his son.
Swiss-born writer/composer Jean-Jacques Rousseau -
Thanks for his modern ideals of education to him we owe.
The Age of Enlightenment was brought
by his type of political and humanistic thought.

Billie Jean
Miracle Man
3/16/2025
My first girl friend’s name was Billie.
she wore dresses that were short and frilly.
Her beautiful smile,
Would others beguile,
but toward other boys she could be chilly.
Jovial Jean jumped into a room
Mesmerizing us without her broom
She kept us entertained in every way
A joker, jester, full of merriment and play
Jean played Archie Bunker's wife
She was there to share his life
When they had a spat
He called her dingbat
Which would begin the strife
"Norma Jean"
stuck out Einstein's
tongue sticks out
as being among
one of the most
amazing things
to see but then
when i saw
Marilyn's
skirt skirting
that grate that
was
greater
and so it was
or would seem
so they say
Monroe's
IQ was
higher
than
Albert's
after all she
never bombed
at the box office
Jean was hunched over with some painful gas
And waited for her chance to let it pass
Instead, people stopped to stare,
her derriere in the air
As she loudly expelled a poopy mass
Jean heard the crowd loudly snicker and shout
And gasped in shock as they quickly ran out
Her face now a scarlet shade
Looking at the mess she made
She quickly dropped her pants and left without
For Teresa. Thinking of you and your family. Sending love and hugs.
Lovely Mum, Jean

Lovely Mum, Jean
I miss you so very much
Your passing is felt
Deep down to my very soul
My heart is filled with longing
My memories are on overload
I wish you could've stayed longer
But I understand that Heaven called
You're back with Dad for good
Holding hands with God and His Angels
I'll celebrate your life each day
But will miss you beyond this world
I'll love and remember you always
I'll miss you until we meet again
Please give Dad a hug in Heaven
Love and light to you both 'til then

A photo on a dating site
How gorgeous that girl looked
By text we flirted all that night
And I was truly hooked
She looked like a celebrity
Like Marilyn Monroe
With sexy eyes and pouting lips
And slim from head to toe
We texted till we felt at ease
And then we made the choice
We swapped our numbers eagerly
To chat some more by voice
She said some sexy things to me
(And some that made me blush)
I praised her lovely curly hair
She praised her own hairbrush
But I’m a proper cockney
And it turns out so was she
One thing she did the same as me
Was say ‘H’ silently
So when we met I got a shock
It seemed I’d got it wrong
Her ‘H’ had not been silent
For an ‘H’ did not belong
She hadn’t used her hairbrush
And her airbrush was long gone
Because the girl in front of me
Looked just like Elton John

[‘Goodbye Norma Jean’ from ‘Candle In The Wind’
by the aforementioned Mr John]
Access to the mind is not a herculean task,
Nothing obstructs her passage,
She doesn’t need to request the key,
Through the mind, she can go back in time,
She can unravel webbed mysteries.
Lifting objects is a feathered task,
They come to her at will,
She hauls them with ease,
Nothing stands in her way,
She pushes them away.
She possesses cosmic energy,
A fiery and indomitable force,
When unleashed it heightens her power,
If not controlled and curtailed,
Her dark side takes over.
So many voices occupy her mind,
Permuting them takes skill and effort,
Filtering them takes guidance,
Her teacher promised to help her
To channel her powers for the good of all.

Gaslighter extraordinaire
Pressed by Peter, she sighs
Tells a Doocy of a lie
I saw Moby Dick riding the Star-Spangled Banner
One full moon before the freezing September
Jamaica made first the say
Towards breaking the bonds of foray
While Warren was saying goodbye
Einstein blew the first cry
Towards breaking the bonds of foray
About six steps away
While Norma Jean was groaning in pain
The shadow of Columbus set sail for Spain
Poor Nelson made the creed
That broke the chains of apartheid
While the world was shedding tears for a fallen angel
Two teardrops fell that broke all hell
While Jamaica was waving the flags of liberty
Fleming unfolded an ancient mystery
Poor lovely Norma Jean
Fell early like James Dean
But the memory of her prime
Was revered through time
In memory of Norma Jean Baker
Billy Jean was an ocean queen
A rambler out on the high seas,
Cool as a cat and ready to scat
Living life as she damn well pleased.
She lived to run out there in the sun
Or under the moon and stars,
She loved deep water and ink in her blotter
But didn’t like loud people or cars.
She loved watching blue whales, billowing sails
And dolphins leaping high in the waves,
Sunrises and sets she could never forget
those brilliant bright colors they made.
From the stern or bow she prayed as she found
Mystery and meaning galore,
in every sweet breath Billy Jean was the best
Ocean Queen from my shore to yours.
