Where Have You Been All My Life, Johnny Depp?
by
Laurie Joan Aron


Next
 

If I were twelve, I’d write your name in Peter Max pillows
Over and over until it was perfect.
But you were only seven, then.
Five years makes a difference.
You can’t remember the day JFK was shot.
That could be a problem in a relationship.
But I’m in love with your celluloid personalities: pirate, gypsy, dead man.
So it’s a little exciting to know that you go to the grocery store and the dentist, too.
Next time you’re in my town, I shop at the West Side, and see Dr. Klein.

Love the poem ~ and Johnny. Too bad his taste runs to a woman half his age ~ makes you wonder what he's Really like. Guess I prefer the screen image...

Love this little note. I could have written the same sentiments to Jimmy Stewart in my day.

This is kind of how I feel about him. Thanks for reminding me this soggy Wednesday.
