The History of Rock In Four Lines

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

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.
