Topic: The Mountain King

I don`t really like doing rhymes,but i went crazy this time.

The Mountain King
What became of the mountain king
he used to rock he used to swing
had many hits.. at the top of his game
had it all... wealth and fame
but bought down by ..the use of drugs
sold to him by crooks and thugs
lost it all to bad advise
tried comebacks ..once or twice
minor hits here and there
but the best ...so long ago
that`s what happened to the mountain king

Re: The Mountain King

A sad but all-too-familiar tale, Easybeat ... nicely captured, mate! Reminds me of the lyrics to Marillion's song "Three Minute Boy".

Re: The Mountain King

who could you be referring to? nice bit of rhyming with a story or is that a message?

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: The Mountain King

That is  a great poem EB short and sweet and works a treat while telling a story.about maybe a tennis player.
