I always thought that Debbie Harry <br />Was the sort of girl I'd like to marry, <br />But she kept me Hanging on the Telephone <br />And now I spend my nights alone, <br /> <br />So I think I'll ring up Elkie Brooks <br />(Fantastic voice, amazing looks) <br />Together we'll drink Lilac Wine <br />And then I'll persuade her to be mine. <br /> <br />I'm just a guy with stars in his eyes <br />And dreams he'll never realize <br />Like a lot of other blokes I know <br />Who listen to too much radio. <br /> <br />Of course, I'd like to sleep with Madonna, <br />Provided, I guess, she'd do me the honour, <br />'Cos although she's just a Material Girl <br />She sets my emotions in a whirl, <br /> <br />And don't let's forget cute Chrissie Hynde <br />(I'd give her a kiss if she didn't mind) <br />'Cos although I admit I'm an old Pretender <br />I wouldn't want to go and offend her. <br /> <br />Is there no end to my foolish dreams? <br />(Fame's not as easy as it seems) <br />I'll have to settle for something less <br />And then I'll find true happiness! !<br /><br />John Thorkild Ellison<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-ballad-of-a-rock-n-roll-dreamer/
