Notes About The Poem
I wrote this in real time, watching Rod Stewart, and Ronnie Wood, with Lulu Quattro i think? At Glastonbury 2025.' Great artists seen against the backdrop of Times dance.' At 9 am the day following this write i see News that Rod has some cancer scare.' I had no idea when writing However. And will pray for his health.)

Time and adieux, worthy farm 2025'

The vibrant popinjay has gone.' The harlequin no more really
Spins in song.' The magic's now all in a can.' Younger female backers
Parry times looming advance plan..' The age'd icon takes his glances
Across the acres, of yearning souls in hopefull trances..Parody banners they lie.' beneath sultry skies.' Echo the effigy of the past,  See it burned in the mans eyes.'
Actions Describe.' Writ large the irony of life.' Youth has
Flown.' All hail its ghost, Ronnie strums, the speakers hum.'
Geri-acrity...Fumbles combinations and with alacrity..' 0yet theres really not one chance.' No way back.' All I see is false hope.' Rod Stewart is a husk.' Not yet voiceless.' Nor danceless yet
Its the back end, of the romance.!

Great writing! You get a FAV! I don't know what to say, Joe; I never liked any of them; were never my cup of tea. Not to put on highbrow airs, but opera and classical music have got my favorite shares. And good jazz, jumping jazz, like Swing and Dizzy-land. I can't relate emotionally to most of the folks you mentioned. I still play drums -- no professional -- but can get some forgiving feet tapping. The only thing we take with us, is what we left behind of ourselves, the joy or pain we have added to this world
