To Pete Seeger - Circa Shortly Before His Death - Verse 2
unsure if this epistle (possibly
coming across as all mixed up)
like some mish mashed verse
ye might arrange and rearrange into a song
living social in the country of upstate New York state
epitomizing spartan holistic existence
somewhere over the rainbow with a hefty purse
exemplifying decades of fame and fortune
that odds on favorite moost did highly rate
your fount of endless lyrical musical
natural playing style auditory tunes ears did immerse
themselves from just one man’s hand
whether newlyweds who did marry a loving mate
or others exhaling their final breath
afore crossing the river of Jordan inside the hearse
while the convoy chants the favorite chorus
abiyoyo with that standard amen for the late
mortal, whereby such preferential fanfare
for said loss of precious friend family doth curse.
little or no great expectations
(by dickens) feedback
will be forth coming to this average joe
who merely chose to plunk himself down here
and simply let spontaneity take full rein
this spur of the moment ode
(perhaps difficult to comprehend)
to a fellow you do not know and travel down
a shady lane (more akin
to a boulevard of broken dreams) in the main
with elusive passion to live in tandem with nature
whereby a garden this dad could hoe
reaping from sweat of thine brow afterward
upon festival of flowers this body will be lain
but the spouse prepared the siesta meal,
and hence now end this rambling poem to go
to ponder all my trials and tribulations
whilst in need to feed this body and brain.
I ENJOY A SATISFIED MUSICALLY INCLINED MIND
AND WISH THE WORLD FILLED WITH MORE OF YOUR KIND!
