Overshadowed

Recommended Posts

Whilst I'm in an obituary writing mood:

 

 

There was a time when you were It

the girls all wanted to be you,

They wanted your hair

They envied your eyes

expressed amazement at your teeth

and whispered and nudged about your nipples.

 

Boys wanted your hair, teeth, eyes, smile, body,

your bronzed limbs,

your general sun-kissed American wholesomeness

And more.

They were fixated and obsessed by your nipples

Unfettered for the first time ever

on TV

Every week

For free

Did you see? They asked. Last night?

On TV?

Phooeee.

 

We grew up

You faded

We looked elsewhere

You showed you were more than all that

Faded some more.

Then the brightest bloom was gone.

Rest in Peace, beautiful Ferrah. Others will possibly know you as "Farrah".

 

:sad:

 

Another excellent and apt piece of writing from you, Sir Nigel.
