PROFESSOR PIM and the EVIL QUEEN of the NEVERLANDS (Poem)



"Mirror Mirror on the wall
Who is the most popular of them all"

"Professor Pim" the mirror said
The man the Queen wanted dead

The Queen hated Professor Pim
For he had called her son dumb and dim

With only a few days away
Professor Pim would have a say

The Queen's ministers had warned her
The election was around the corner

If Professor Pim would become the Prime Minister of the Neverlands

He would hold her future in his hands

Without a poison apple around
A useful idiot had to be found

The Queen's men found such a man
And quickly drew up a plan

Pim was ambushed in a parking lot
He was shot, shot, shot

Professor Pim was no more
And the Queen found a new man to adore

She named her favorite horse after him
The man who had murdered Pim

No politician thereafter made fun of the crown
Because they all wanted to stick around

And that's why they call it the Neverlands
Because the people will never know their plans

As a banquet waiter, I earned excellent money, and the employee cafeteria food was surprisingly good. I was always grateful when Jorge invited me back for more shifts. The Crescent Court Hotel’s design and architecture exuded traditional European style, as did its upper management. The general manager, a Dutchman, and most of his staff, primar...

The Starck Club -- Dallas 1985–89

Getting into the Starck Club wasn’t easy. There was always a long line, and the doormen were highly selective about who they allowed to enter. In my early twenties, with bleached blond hair, I was hip enough to pass. I wore black parachute pants and white leather shoes—very Duran Duran-esque.
