Cheryl Sarkisian LaPiere

She used to sing with hubby way back when;
they had some hits, a program on the tube.
They split. Alone she rose to greater fame,
with bigger hair, smaller nose, and even bigger boobs.

He thought that he had got you, babe,
when you were still so underage,
but you got what you wanted- you
dumped his ass, then had Gregg, too.

A singer matured and made money
by being both sexy and funny -
her bare skin to spare,
and a dazzling share
of Botox transcended just sunny.

Theodore Geisel

I'm writing Ted Geisel this ditty
to say one need not be a kiddy
... to see the importance
... of Yertles or Hortons
and find his tetrameter witty.

Anapestic tetrameter's now on the loose,
along with a dog and a goose and a moose,
some ham and green eggs, and a tiger named Bruce,
and Theodore Geisel, as God-like as Zeus.

And don't forget sneetches and creatches like that,
and a fabulous feline who wears a big hat.

Funny, how she starts out with nine syllables in her name and ends up, when all is said and done,
with one.

Though Sonny said, "You're mine alone," no,
Cheryl Sarkisian LaPiere didn't care.
She said "I can't belong to just one Bono.
The best you can hope for from me is your Cher."

Henry John Deutschendorf

Sun shines on the shoulders
of H. John Deutschendorf
carrying him over boulders
and ‘Almost-Heaven’ - forth.

- Dear John,
your lovely music will play forever in my heart.

[Marion Shore]

Good one, Anne.

I googled, I must admit.

I found this about him:

In 1963 he struck out on his own, moving to Los Angeles to be in the heart of the burgeoning music scene. It was during this time that Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. was urged by friends to change his name if a recording career was to be in his future. His friends suggested the name John Sommerville, but he ultimately took his stage name from the beautiful Rocky Mountain capital city of Colorado, his home state.

Seems like their suggestion paid off.
