Thanks, Billy. Yeah, the first line mimics a well known song and the title its most famous singer, but as for the rest, you seem to have picked up an idea and ran nowhere in particular. For the record - pun fully intended - I've never heard of Jake Miller, but my name happens to be Ray Miller, so that obviously accounts for the confusion. Jimmy Cliff has a song with Limbo in the title, Walking in Limbo, I think, and I have a line which contains the word Limbo - bang to rights. Paul Simon has a song with an alternative title of The Myth of Fingerprints and I have a line the world is on my fingerprints so, yeah, gotta hold up my hand to that one - pun fully intended.
most of the lines are from the lyrics of many popular songs and artists. - well, actually, just the one
for me it doesn't work and reads as a bit of a cheat. - I'm not in a litigious mood
Yours, Dusty Miller
I ought to add, I do think the poem is rubbish, but not for the reasons stated

Before criticising a person try walking a mile in their shoes. Then when you do criticise that person, you are a mile away.... and you have their shoes.
