July 18 - Richard Branson (The Musical Birthday Series, 2nd Annual Cycle)

Like a Virgin


When Richard Branson, twenty-two,

Wondered what the heck to do,

He found some cash and then was able

To start the Virgin Records label.


Richard Branson, as creator,

Sold the business some years later,

To help his airlines (which he kept)

But, the story goes, he wept.


But, wiping free those tender tears,

He moved to conquer other spheres,

Just like any good civilian

(Give a take a couple billion).
