Head Transplant Poetry

That's right!

A freaky contest!

It's easy! Choose two famous people in the world, presently living, or people from history, and pretend that you can transplant the head of one person onto the body of the other, and then you write a poem about it! Short stories are fine, too!

Endless possibilities and dramatic and funny outcomes!


Poems may rhyme, or not.
Poems of any length.

Rules:

Be nice.
No religions insulted.
Sticky caps are fine 'cause I love 'em.

I will add HM's as we go.

Most of all, HAVE FUN!

    Now that would be scary! Cool contest. Wish I could write for it. Just been very lazy these last few weeks.

    Cher Cruise

    Look at me, look at me,
    I finally got to nail Cher,
    her body's great, so I took it,
    my head fits a treat.

    I will make a new movie now,
    Mission Impossible 79
    and three quarters.

    Or maybe Sam Her Eye
    In Stockings -

    I am so great
