Highly Demanded

Highly Demanded

When your yard with weeds is all full
And now you know it is time to pull
All of them up root after each root
So they won't reproduce or bare fruit.

One day myself did decide to study
Determined I was an old fuddy duddy
Like weeds found myself hard to bare
After seeing all the gray in my hair.

From gray to silver seemed to change
Someone said it sure seemed strange
Poem concerning it should write about
Not being ashamed or having to pout.

This one thought I should write for you
If ever your dream dares to come true
Let it be about Tony Curtis or Bennett
And make sure in dream I am in it.

Dream also by me was just discovered
High up in air for a while have hovered
By the time back to earth I had landed
My poems by many were highly demanded.
