Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Althea Was My Real Name

He told me that his name was Jim,

Sang a song in '79

Called "Althea" and sung by him

When he was still a love of mine.

I remember I was concerned

He was doing hard drugs a lot.

I thought he was gonna get burned.

So I often told him he ought

To let me try to help him out.

But he just gave me his b.s.

And not real serious about

Wanting me to help him, I guess.

He went on to fortune and fame,

And Jerry not Jim was his name.
