In the dark days before rock'n'roll music was dreamy but had no soul Now that acoustic and electric guitars have come instrumentation's professional, but the lyrics are dumb

don't you hate that a beautiful melody with stupid words. Great point my friend...

Well, at least it's better than stupid words without any melody at all. (aka 'RAP').

You betcha. Celine, Barbara,Whitney,Toni Braxton, Bill Withers... They sing like angels without any help from instruments. They just open their mouths and one can hardly believe it. Your poems are always so much fun to read!! I get such a kick out of each one. To me they are meaningful, positive, funny and of course wildly clever.

I'm so glad you enjoy the poems, Marikate. Just make sure that the kick you get out of them ends with a soft landing! Cheers, gw
