Geoffrey Brewer Poet Rhyme

I Got Arrhythmia

I got arrhythmia
With no biz here
Still got my heart
Who could ask for anything more!

This old heart beat 
Got new smart beat
Slow then fast beat 
Who could ask for anything more!

My Oxidation
Has a syncopation
No resuscitation
Hangin’ round my door

With a thrum beat 
Not a dumb beat
Long as some beat
Who could ask for anything more!
 Who could ask for anything more!

P.S. Awtry November 4, 2021 at 9:39 PM Your positive attitude and sense of humor can only help. As I read this I could hear the song and see the performance in my mind. Many blessings to you :)

Suzanne Delaney September 27, 2021 at 4:51 AM We all dance to a different beat, Geoffrey Enjoyed your certain rhythm and who could ask for anything more. Best, SuZ

L. J. Carber September 18, 2021 at 11:17 AM Thank God for a sense of humor! A friend of mine has that as well, Geoff, and we all know it's no laughing matter. Heart disease has killed of every male in my family going back at least 3 generations--I've got the more prosaic aortic aneurysm but if that pops, at least I go out with a bang! Geoffrey Brewer September 23, 2021 at 1:53 PM Thanks for the response, Len. Let not your heart (and mine) be troubled!

Gary Radice September 10, 2021 at 6:56 AM Very clever Geoffrey. Your poem has so much heart and great beat. I have to ask though..is the word 'beat' missing inadvertently in the line "Not a dumb.."..or did you just miss a 'beat' on purpose ? :) Love your stuff Cheers - Gary :) Geoffrey Brewer September 17, 2021 at 7:40 PM Thank you for the kind observation, Gary. You were right; it was an error (though I see your subtle point, but not sure if others would; so I have amended it)

Quoth Theraven August 28, 2021 at 11:26 AM Geoffrey, Always providing the harmony & timing; great brothers writing the soundtrack of life. 'Long as some beat ~ Who could ask for anything more!' Only busy hearts are well-practiced in multiple cadences. As long as the beat remains measurable you're allowed to enjoy the dance. -Richard Geoffrey Brewer August 30, 2021 at 8:22 AM Thank you Richard. Ah! Those dancing years! Now just a little toe tapping. The beat goes on.

Kim Rodrigues August 27, 2021 at 12:10 PM This is great! The heart’s holding on…who could ask for anything more (a little bit of sarcasm in every dance step) God bless you, Geoffrey! Geoffrey Brewer August 30, 2021 at 8:18 AM Thanks for the comment and kind wishes, Kim.

Andrea Dietrich August 27, 2021 at 9:05 AM wow, how cool to do this with that song beat. Very clever. I think my sister has this thing too. Probably with monitors people can do fine with it. There is much worse to have, believe me. Geoffrey Brewer August 30, 2021 at 8:17 AM Thanks Andrea. As you say: could be a lot worse (No sense of rhythm!)

Gershon Wolf August 26, 2021 at 5:12 PM You've nailed it, Geoffrey. Who could ask for anything more?! Certainly not me! Cheers, Gershon Geoffrey Brewer August 27, 2021 at 1:01 AM Thanks Gershon.

Joseph P. DiMino August 26, 2021 at 5:34 AM Brilliant as usual! As an old drummer, like yourself, I appreciate most any beat. Hope you are doing well. Joe. Geoffrey Brewer August 26, 2021 at 5:54 AM Still strumming. Thanks, Joe
