A Rock and Roll Odyssey
I had a disagreement the other day
with my pal Floyd who passed my way
He brought his new sculpture for me to see
Floyd's a fine artist, on that we agree
"Wow" said I, "It's an Iron Butterfly"
"He'll soar with The Eagles right up to the sky"
Said Floyd "In the wings I set colored glass"
"That Deep Purple shade really lends some class"
"That glass is Pink, Floyd" I responded to him
"Your grasp of color must be growing dim"
"You're Bad Company son" said Floyd to me
"By the way, can my dog use your yard to pee?"
"Go ahead" said I, with a bit of a 'sheesh'
As he Led Zeppelin, his dog, by the leash
He told me he's taking his art on a tour
through Kansas, Boston and Chicago for sure
Then Floyd headed down to Emerson Lake
& Palmer his friend was there grilling steak
As for me, I'm leaving this Traffic and noise
I'll be spending the day down at The Beach, Boys
But wouldn't you know it, I broke me some bones
when I slipped and fell on some Rolling Stones
So Guess Who's sitting at home in a cast
and I'm hoping these Dire Straits go fast
But my Twisted Sister who just stopped by
brought some Cream filled eclairs and apple pie
Which brightens my Journey and makes me smile
and eases The Kinks in my back for a while
