I was a good-looking man
Born in Nineteen Thirty One
Byron’s the middle name
And I was born an only Son

An actor I dreamed of being
My first gig finally came
Simply A Pepsi commercial
Is what brought to me my fame

I made a total of seven films
“Best Actor” I was nominated two times
I did several television segments
I even put together a few rhymes

My favorite quote I lived by
It really was my only way
"Dream as if you'll live forever.
Live as if you'll die today."

Fast cars and motorcycles
Would be my final demise
I would become a Legend
In all of America’s Eyes

An Icon of rebellion for teens
Ladies dream of me and ask why
Artists even sing about me
So tell me, who am I?

I think it's also James Dean.

The stars will shine when I am gone,
the earth will turn on as before,
the gulls, still race along the shore,
the morning star, still kiss the dawn

A model for us all. A life that ended too soon.

Thank you.

Hahahaahahah.
James Dean is one of my many favorites and I liked reading this fun poem you wrote Irie! I hope you enjoy the picture as much as I do.
What's Next?

Irie,
Very fun! Hey, I'm a native Washingtonian. Raised my kids in the metropolis of Walla Walla.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
