The Ballad of J. G. Ballard

Oh Jim,
We can’t get enough of him
In The Empire of the Sun
He was on the run
Captured by the Japanese
For far more than a year and a day.

Oh, Jim,
Please tell me your secret:
How did you become the pet
Of so many women?
Was it their kindness?
Or just sheer blindness?

Oh Jim,
Please invite me to your next bash.
We could have a car crash
Together.
(I’ve always seen the erotic potential of that).

Jim,
Please let me visit your Concrete Island
It’s much better than Thailand
At this time of year.
Please let me be the one
To share your Empire of the Sun.]]>
