Oliver Stoned but Immaculate

James James
Morrison Morrison,
Vocalist with the Doors,
Sang songs
Strangely shamanic
Much to the world’s applause.
James James
Said to the people:
‘Let me explain the scene:
‘There’s things that you know
And there’s things that you don’t,
‘And the Doors are in between.’

James James
Morrison Morrison
Learnt how to sing and dance;
James James
Morrison Morrison
Squeezed into leather pants;
James James’s
Family alliances
Never quite got to mend;
His parents were vexed
By the Oedipal text
Of a tune he called The End.

His girl,
Pamela Courson,
Started to sulk and bitch,
When Jim
Morrison told her
That he had wed a Witch.
Though Jim
Never quite mastered
Ritual rigmarole,
Some argue that Jimbo,
In life, death or limbo,
Exemplifies Wicc’n’woll.

James James
‘Lizard King’ Morrison,
Still on a vision quest,
Quit hal-
Lucinogenics,
Figuring beer was best;
James James’s
Vital statistics
Rapidly came to grow
Like Truman Capote’s,
So maybe peyote
Was really the way to go.

Jim then
Waved at Miami
All he kept in his pants,
And, when
Facing hard labour,
Jumped on a jet to France.
That’s where
Morrison vanished -
Some think he did survive;
But let’s make it clear
That nobody here
Is gonna get out alive.
