Lin Lane Poet Monoku

Monoku In Song

the first cut may not always be the deepest ~ but it's the bloodiest

take a load off your fannie, Annie ~ but don't put your weight down on me

stumbled over a chair and broke my leg ~ while dancing with my eyes closed

put another dime in the jukebox, baby ~ or the music won't play

keep knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door ~ most of us will not call it home

David Kavanagh July 24, 2023 at 10:44 AM Where did these spring from Lin, humour with an underlying message methinks, I like the Annie one best lol, very clever, cheers David Lin Lane July 24, 2023 at 11:07 AM lol David. Thanks! I was listening to Rod Stewart sing 'First Cut' and I wrote that one. The others followed with each successive song until I told myself, "STOP IT!" Annie is the funniest.
