Harry Horsman Poet Monoku

Blast From the Past

in those suave forties
a musical safety net
till an explosion

Rock ‘n’ Roll group with number one hit
Lead singer with soul till his pants split
Each beat in lyrical farts
Blew away the music charts
Before embarrassment made them quit.

Later on TV, no music requiem just blowin’ out the wind.
