Frank Sinatra: Limericks

There once was a fellow named Frank 
Who had plenty of cash in the bank
He was linked to the mob
Just like corn on the cob 
And got naked with many a skank 

Frank began singing songs as a child 
On the street, when the weather was mild 
And in bars down the road
From his humble abode
Where the locals got charmed and beguiled

Frank grew up as a handsome young dude 
And a lot of young ladies he wooed
In the clubs and the bars
Or the back seats of cars
As Glenn Miller performed ‘In The Mood’

He hooked up with 'The Hoboken Four'
And he sang ‘til his tonsils were sore 
Major Bowes saw their act 
In a hall that was packed 
With a crowd that was shouting for more 

So the Major put Frank and the lads
Far away from their moms and their dads
Playing songs on the road 
Where much talent they showed
And the groupies all ached for their ‘nads

Frank then started his big band career
After catching the eye and the ear 
Of the great Harry James 
And some other big names 
On the course he was trying to steer

Tommy Dorsey then wined him and dined him 
And then to a contract he signed him
But after two years 
Frank was keen to shift gears 
So he put all that lifestyle behind him

As a soloist Frank made it big 
As millions of fans came to dig 
Both his dashing good looks 
And his musical hooks
When they saw him performing a gig

He consorted with bad guys a lot 
In Las Vegas, where battles were fought 
By gun toting thugs 
Over hookers and drugs
Where a lot of poor buggers got shot

Fifteen years ago Frank passed away 
But we still hear his voice to this day 
He was bigger than life 
He had many a wife
Like Hugh Hefner and Cassius Clay
