Charles Mason

Founded the Church of God in Christ
believed in the rhythmic power of song,
that from the very soul God gave to us,
some today call it Rock and Roll; I do.

I was a little confused at first because I was expecting a poem about Charles Manson the serial killer. After reading the poem I had to look closer at the title. I have to say this is a much more upbeat subject.

Hmmmm, I like rock and roll being equated with soul and with God. I sure hope God enjoys rock and roll as I do!! Harry, this one is not rhymed like clerihew. I hope to see some rhymed ones from you because I want you in the anthology that Gwen and I are going to be doing!! Like your one on Chuck Berry. that one was pretty good!!
