A man named JimA Poem by Anissa AmerI wrote this in the form or a blues song, in the eyes of Robby Kreiger. The Doors bass player. The song is about Jim Morrison. The rhyme scheme IS off. It's just how I wrote the SONG
I met a man named jim
His eyes carried his soul And everytime that jim would sing Our hearts would sink so low Jim was fun to be around But, he liked to drink alot When the bartender called last round Jim took another shot The golden days of hangin out Came to shallow down WHen jim met a girl who caught his eye From the other side of town Hey little mama I followed you Way down from the beach When she asked why Jim winked his eye, and gave a romantic speach You're the one i'm lookin for You have what I need Before she said another word Jim, so absurd, would steal a kiss and leave Into the desert he went oneday And he brought back some slack When we asked Jim where he had been He said let me take you back We followed Jim to the desert And we all chanted out a tune Jim's words grew strong As the day grew long And we packed before the moon Ol Jimbo sure did like his beer And he liked his whisky too When the challenge arose Jim turned up his nose And drank em to timbuc two Now in the mind of an average joe Jim would not be sane But, through the bloodshot eyes Of a loving fan His success came through his brain The fortune and the fame of gool ol Jim Got to be too much When Jim met some people That could ruin him He started growing out of touch His brain, it started to erode And Jim just went berserk When Ray told Jimbo to get sane He turned into a jerk Now Jim had showed the whole wide world What he was all about He'd stand on cars Near topless bars "I'm the lizard king!!" He'd shout Oneday the fame became too much So Jimbo up and moved From love street to paris with his lovely lady But, Jimbos sickness grew Now we all heard the stories Of how Jim was getting sick But, we all said Jim won't be dead Cause that ol' boy was slick Well, It'd only been a few months later Death reared it's ugly head And inside we died while the whole world cried WHen we heard Jim was dead After that I got attacked By the news and telecast They asked for my opinion But the stories weren't givin About what was now ol Jimbo's past When I wouldn't say a word The silence got absurd And I just kinda walked away Thinkin to my self how Jimbo made a choice But, he was the real McCoy Now every year on December eighth I go and visit Jim We laugh and we talk about the good old days But, I'm just talkin to Jimbos grave © 2012 Anissa AmerReviews
