You moon walked into our lives
Made us into multicolored Jackson Fives
Your Ow!’s and squeals gave us good vibes
Your crotch-grabbing amused our wives.
Our kids confused whether you’re black or white
Plastic surgery with you reached its height
You dished hit after hit
But if I’m a kid on your lap I won’t sit.
I love all your albums that made you rich
Just wondering why Neverland became a huge ditch
From reaching the top you hit pop-rock bottom
Hope you learned something from humility’s bosom.
There’s no denying you’re larger than life
There’s a time that I loved you more than my wife
Can’t help feel a huge sense of loss
MTV will miss your hair toss.
Still, you gave so much to Pop
Unforgettable would be your body bop
Probably for old times sake your CD’s I’ll shop
Your “Beat It” and “Billie Jean” in my cranial music room won’t stop.

Fare you well, Thriller.

Great write.
I too will miss Michael. I was lucky enough to see 2 of his concerts.
Rock on Michael…….

Thanks Raven! Glad for you dropping by. He had his faults, which we could learn from, but despite that, he was a great man. He was the King of Pop.

Great piece. Thriller was like the greatest album when I was younger. Still is…really. One of my favorite songs to play on the guitar is Human Nature….such a shame really.
Wow, you can play Human Nature, that’s one of the more sweetest sounding songs that I love. I have to agree, Thriller is a great one. For all his eccentricities, he will be sorely missed.

Yes, it’s the only one I’ve ever learned, but I’ll tell ya, the melody is quite amazing when played on an acoustic. Awesome actually. If you play, give it a go.
