Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

I'M In Touch With the Darkside

I’m in touch with the dark side of Pink Floyd
This classic album is one you should not avoid
Needle placed on the record, and I hear the first track
The music speaks to me and I keep coming back
Time passes and I breathe as I listen to on the run
The great gig in the sky sure sounds like lots of fun
When I stare at the prism on the album cover
Its design is so unique, quite unlike any other
A prism will create any colour you like
Rock music appeals to guys on their motorbike
I don’t need a lot of money to listen to this band
Floyd’s music eclipses all other, I'm sure you understand
