The Ghost of John Lennon

by jack

 

 

Imagine I am here

I’m something you can see

Distortions ever clear

The eggman floating free

 

In psychedelic bubbles

Like Lucy in the skies

All fantasies will double

Right here before your eyes

 

Hear lonely heart’s a playing

Along strawberry fields

The nowhere man is saying

"I buried Paul" is real

 

This tour a magic mystery

There’s nothing much to fear

My death may be my history

Imagine I am here

Thank you for reading

Ha, really enjoyed this one, saw that contest, was wondering what anyone would write about John Lennon and ghost, excellent choice of songs, you put this together like instant karma in my life...what a revolution! Kudos...

[Jack...]

Thanks. All we were saying is give this piece a chance.

[Frieda P]

I would but I am the walrus...we could do this all day :-)

[Jack...]

yeah, but if we parked here too long we might get a ticket from Lovely Rita.

[Frieda P]

Tomorrow never knows, we need help. :-)

[Jack...]

yeah, but it's getting better all the time.

[Frieda P]

Now you sound like a paperback writer...

[quinfinn]

well, whatever gets you thru the night

[Frieda P]

this bird has flown, yeah, yeah, yeah....

[quinfinn]

tell me that you love every sound there is, and your bird can sing

[Jack...]

I would but...I'm a loser.

[quinfinn]

well, i'm just sittin' here watchin' the wheels go round

[Jack...]

Good, cause I have a ticket to ride

[quinfinn]

well, in my life that's what goes on but think for yourself or you won't see me...got 4 in there, hah!

[Jack...]

Well we're all together now and if you ask me why, I'll just say because we have all come together and everyone else just better get back. perhaps we should just let it be for a while.

[quinfinn]

ah, 6 of them! you know your Beatles, sir! this could go on all day but what goes on isn't it a pity? i feel fine about every little thing, eight days a week and what you're doing is cool, but i don't wanna spoil the party,and say i have no reply, so i'll follow the sun and i want to tell you that i did this for no one and tomorrow never knows , so, not a second time will i twist and shout or feel the misery and frieda...remember frieda? well, she said, she said that all i gotta do is please please me, so ...do you want to know a secret? i saw her standing there and got a taste of honey, but in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make!

[Jack...]

And none of us could do any of this without a little helps from our friends. Here, there and everywhere, Mean Mister Mustard is swinging Maxwell"s Silver Hammer and getting no reply, but in my life, it won't be long before the Taxman and the Sun King tell me "that'll be the day" and prove to me I am truly the fool on the hill for believing that if I act naturally you won't see me.

[quinfinn]

jack, you are awesome! i thought that no one knew the beatles as i do but you have been all over this with both feet and hands....there, not a beatle reference in the whole comment....

[Jack...]

Then I guess we'll consider this..."the end".

[quinfinn]

turn me on, dead man

[Jack...]

Perfect ending

[Marie]

I think this is wonderful...you've imagined John Lennon into reality...

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Marie. I appreciate your kind words.

[Daniel Malone]

Beautiful homage! Nicely done

[Jack...]

Thanks so much

[quinfinn]

well, i have to thank you for your reverence to my idol. John Lennon. the skillful way in which you incorporated so many Beatle songs and euphemisms into this piece is still resonating within me. there will never be another soul like his, and i feel he has never left us, because his legacy still holds firmly in the hearts of so many. imagine....i doubt even John could have imagined the impact he had upon the world. you have touched me to the very depths of my soul here, dear jack. thank you!

[Jack...]

Thank you sir, happy you enjoyed it.
