2010 and Beyond

There was a naughty boy
and a naughty boy was he,
for nothing would he do
but live for his family.


He has never had a holiday
since 1991
all the monies
he has earned
were for his kids
to have much fun.


Now his kids are older
his time
has finally arrived, for
he has a taste for music
so to a concert
he will strive.


2010 is around the corner
to England he will go
to see some famous 
Rock bands
and marvel
at their 
shows


And when he does return
his journey 
will be shared with you,
for since 1991
his music has
seen him 
through.


My entry into Brian's contest " Christmas Parlour Poetry "

As a parent, I devoted my life to my kids growing up. It's time for me to live, irrespective of where I end up. Thank you, James......

Sounds like fun and not naughty. Everyone including fathers need some I time and space. It does take a large sum to rear children and prices keep going up in America. Keep the creative and magical pen flowing. This sounds like a good entry. Sara

We will be looking forward to the real attraction when you get back James. Your preview sounds like it will be fun. Growing up, My favorite rock type singer was John Fogerty, with the " Clearwater Revival". I have the most amazing clip from AETN that he just recently did. He still looks the same and sang just as well as he did 35 years ago. An amazing singer. Sincerely, Moses
