A Loving Poem to Jim (for those who knew him...)

Lizard King, on the bar, from rooftops

and over your legacy you took a swirling a ****

drunk on blood with a treacherous witch high off acid.

Grabbing your junk and exposing your genitals onstage

passing out, failing the test of life and yet making the grade.

You became and overweight bearded *******

weary and heavy like your poetic incoherent rambles

with a voice like Sinatra when you really wanted to,

like your average intoxicated uncle when you gave less of a ****

in the studio, recording frustrations while getting ********

Opening the doors to the eyes of delusion and distortion

the crystal ship sailed without causing so much confusion

as to who you are, who you were and who you aspired to be

the next great American wordsmith,

“Light My Fire” is a fine tune, please sing it for me,

without cussing me out, calling me a sellout and everything in between.

Breaking through to the other side of madness

wheels falling off riding by your roadhouse blues

some might say Val Kilmer made an even better you

a mirror image of the decimated natives of your youth.

Abruptly moved to France to be the next Pepe Le Pew

but instead took a ****** bath to the afterlife.

Some loved your talent, others thought you made a prettier corpse

so tonight I’ll toast your legacy of leather pants

frat boy good looks, ****** off rants, Raiders on the Storm

and checking out right after Hendrix you inconsiderate ******

I still love you though, with my heart crossed

dearly dearest quintessential *******

Jim Morrison.
