Notes About The Poem

Terrible Karaoke

A singer whose name’s Carrie Oakey
Was hoarse, sounding terribly croaky
Carrie burst into tears
When folks covered their ears
She’s thankful her gig was just low key

Ha! Hilarious my friend, simply a very hilarious write! I can't sing worth a hoot, so I don't even try anymore (except for a couple of songs maybe, to my wife's chagrin)! Karaoke would certainly be something I would run away FROM, and would never subject any listener to my horrid notes and off key singing! I thought your poem to be quite splendid in its regality! I just loved reading your humorous poem this morning! Quite the fun piece, Great Work!!
