Donnie Disco
.
Donnie was born with a disco ball for a head.
He had no mouth to breathe with or be fed.
This was probably the reason, by 1980, Disco was dead.

Difficult shoes for a guy with no eyes :)
Paul Compton replied
His life was very difficult. People were constantly asking him to spin around at parties.
: )

Donnie disco ball for a head
Loved to party if truth be said
His mirrored mind the podium calls
Where he twirls and bumps his disco balls
Paul Compton replied
Woo hoooo! Awesome Robert. Yours is much more vibrant than mine – focuses on the vibrant life of Donnie rather than on his death : )
butchart
haha… i had shoes just like this.. and I AIN”T DEAD
Paul Compton replied
I’m obsessed with 1970’s Glam Rock so platforms have a special place in my heart : )

Paul Compton replied
Ha! Another coincidence – I was playing Music For the Masses on cassette tape at work today. Thanks so much for commenting Darkest : )

Paul Compton replied
I’m a big fan of platform shoes and have always wanted to own a pair. Maybe Donnie will leave his to me in his will : )

LOL! This is so funny; and love the poem too! How do we know Donnie is really dead as opposed to being unable to stand up from a heavy head and shoes? He’s being weighed down at the endpoints!
limerick
this is very funny. Thanks.
