ASTROLOGICAL PHENOMENON  ©  Don Read 3.3.14
              OR
ASTRO-COMICAL
At five she sang like an angel
At ten she won contests galore
At fifteen she sent demo discs to George Martin
But they all ended up on his floor

At last she was spotted and signed a huge contract 
A million  advances and perks 

Lots of big contacts TV shows, PAs and world wide tours by the score 
Time to  get rid of those pestering physical jerks
Her management team scratched their corporate chins as they  searched for a suitable name
Then up jumped young Shamus the Irish PR man and shouted, “By gosh and Gommorow, 

Let’s call her Aurora. we’ll run a re-naming campaign 
The management team thought Shamus was somewhat insane 
But agreed the new name would help as she climbed up the ladder of riches and fame 
And Shamus offered to loan his office girl Alice to handle the E mails and fan mail. 
The gesture was greeted without any malice
So Agnes Sidebottom shot up the charts
Had lots of lovers and broke a few hearts
As she morphed over night with her new novelty  name Aurora  Borrowed Alice 

(she should make an album with “Will  I Ain’t” )
