Singing

Today I feel like singing
At the top of my voice,
Singing up loud and clear
Songs of rejoice.
Happy songs, cheerful songs,
The ones that make you dance.
Loud songs, quiet ones
And songs of romance.

I'm really NOT a singer
But I do like to perform.
To sing and open up my lungs
Makes me feel reborn.
There is only one problem
That causes me heartbreak,
My family all shout at me
That they've got a headache!

Oh, and Elizabeth is my wife's middle name. Said it was something about some Queen's who live in England.

EEEEEK, Have you ever tried closer to the bottom before. My wife said her choir is always on the outlook for altos. Be sure to join your church choir. jth

If your singing is as good as your poetry Elisabeth, they have nothing to complain about, keep doing both, great fun write, Roy, :)
