I’ve just watched ‘Michael Jackson and Bubbles -
The Untold Story’… a documentary
On Channel 4, a sad modern fable
Of pet abandonment. Maturity
Can cause a pet to lose its charm. We see
Stray dogs on streets, sad-eyed, noses in bags
Hunting food scraps, expelled from families
It happened to this famous chimp. Time drags
Sat in his cage. The human memories nag
But now he must go ape again; he falls
From stardom to mere anonymity
But though the chat show days are past, eyes sag
And chin is lined with grey, where is Michael?
The King of Pop lies in the cemetery
