mama and papa begged their musician son
to not join a band, although hedonistic fun
we are terrified you will soon be a member of twenty-seven

Amy Winehouse died of fright, fearing rumors of thugs
Statistics show that popular musicians die usually at fifty-six
He told his parents good-bye, and raced away to get his musical fix.
