The Rise and Fall of the Worlds Greatest Air Rock Band

As I step through the door Of my office - Doughnuts Galore Mildred from behind the counter nods her head at me I come here every day for a few Jelly doughnuts and nasty brew Looking for the perfect job that keeps eluding me I again pick up the daily rag Scouring the classified ads Hoping to find something interesting I see My bladder lets lose At the greatest of news In Black and White Bold Type face do I read Wanted lead guitarist in An up and coming Air Rock Band Mildred comes and picks me up off the floor I went and applied for the job And with a wink and a nod They said your exactly what we're looking for We practice day and night Hitting all the notes right Till our Air Rock Band was ready for tour The crowds we all wowed As we brought down every house In venues we played up and down the Eastern shore From top forty pop To industrial techno rock There wasn't a song we couldn't toast We even threw a few polkas in Sounding sweeter than sin Cause Brian the drummer likes polka the most We finally hit the big time When we went nation wide The Greatest Air Rock Band the worlds ever known But as fast as we went to the top That's just as fast as we dropped Dead air was all you heard from us on the radio

Aww - so hard to make it on the radio - but you created a memorable poem, Mike! Awesome job... too bad nobody is advertising for an awesome poet.
