WHAT IF
Debbie Middaugh AKA TURBO1904 1963 (San Diego, CA.)
What if Alicia,
Lost her Keys?
Help me find them,
Won't you please?
What if Betty,
Was never White?
Never relax,
Always uptight.
What if Kid,
Couldn't Rock?
Maybe he could
Be a jock.
What if Kevin,
Had no Bacon?
He forgot he gave
It to the Jamaican.
What if Halle,
Was never a Berry?
Maybe she could
Be the tooth fairy.
What if Busta,
Couldn't rhyme?
Maybe once
Upon a time.
What if Rock,
Couldn't Roll?
That's a heart
Without a soul.
What if Snoop,
Lost his dog?
It ran off
In the fog.
What if George,
Was never a Bush?
ZZ Top's looking
For some Tush.
What if Ice,
We're never a cube?
It's like a girl,
With no boob.
What if Stevie,
Had no wonder?
It's like lightning
Without the thunder.
What if Barry,
Didn't Bond?
I know his wife
Is a blonde.
What if Al,
Was never Green?
No one would know
Sight unseen.
What if Jamie,
Had a fox?
It was stronger
Then an Ox.
What if Lucy,
Lost her Ball?
Then Ricky might
Of been Paul.
What if Tailor,
wasn't swift?
I think you are starting
to get my drift.
What if Anita,
Was never a baker?
Maybe she was
A candle stick maker.
What if Destiny,
Was never a child?
Maybe black Betty's
Isn't wild.
What if Biggie,
We're really small?
Maybe he would
Grease the ball.
What if Kayne,
Never went West?
No one has seen him,
Since his arrest.
What if James,
Wasn't Brown?
Can you hear when
There's no sound?
What if Marvin,
Was really Gay?
Every dog has
His day.
What if Donald,
Lost his Duck?
Looks like he is
Down on his luck.
What if Slim,
Isn't Shady?
Dude, still looks
Like a lady.
What if Dora,
Wasn't an explorer?
Maybe she could work
At the house of horror.
What if Peter,
Lost his Pan?
Would he still be
A ladies man?
What if fifty,
Lost his cent?
Could he still
Represent?
What if Adele,
Never rolled in the deep?
Could she still
Earn her keep?
What if Bill,
Had no Gate?
Could he still
Pull his weight?
What if Kool
Had no gang?
Would he still
Remain the same?
What if Public,
Had no enemy?
Hello, are you
Still with me?
What if Andre,
We're never a giant?
Would he be
More compliant?
What if Bruno,
Went to mars?
Laughing out loud
And smoking cigars.
