James Foulk Poet Free verse

Bring Back Those Sad Songs

Bring back those sad songs,
like "Teen Angel"  "Patches"
"Honey"  "Ebony Eyes"
today what do we hear?

Loud noise, rap and more loud noise,
music today does nothing for love,
you really can't even sing to this
so called music.

So bring back those good old
songs of long ago, and lets get
down and do our thing, or
what ever these young kids
call it now days.

Heidie Buys August 9, 2008 at 4:12 PM I remember my dad having a fit about my music and today I sometimes feel like throwing a fit when I hear what they call music. Can't wait to see my daughter throwing a fit when she tries to listen to her children's music one day, lol. Good one. regards Heidie

Michael Jordan August 7, 2008 at 11:27 AM James I totally agree - My wife and I get laughed at all the time because we listen to the old songs and our favorite shows are I love Lucy - Bonanza - The Andy Griffith Show - Gunsmoke - Etc. this modern world just doesn't fit us God Bless James
