See You Later ....
A kiss curl moulded on his head,
the King of rock, now sadly dead
manipulated candy kids with ease,
they worshipped him on bended knees;
this mighty cupid morphed from jive,
whose music was the most alive
and catapulted up the charts,
with lyrics that were good - in parts;
he marked our card, made Rock’n’Roll,
thus easily wins “The Fifties” poll,
with Comets in the Hall of Fame :
Bill Haley his immortal name !

idiosyncratic voice has produced thousands of poems in this time, and he finds
it quite hard to stay serious, even when he means to. He also enjoys writing

Nice Poem
