Score and Seven Years

SCORE AND SEVEN YEARS There’s a resonance in rock and roll But also wider for other thespians too On reaching their twenty seventh year The man with the scythe might appear The number grows to more than a few As if someone else owned their soul An exclusive club that more have joined Famous names from early Blues to Metal Some troubled artists struggled in vain Including Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain For some, the thought won’t easily settle Of the club name that has been coined From Robert Johnson’s sad Delta Blues To Amy Winehouse and others too It even happened to the Rolling Stones And the untimely death of Brian Jones One wonders if they ever really knew For most, an end they would not choose
