Tribute To John Prine

If you ask me why I rhyme 
It’s  inspired by John Prine
Heard that first album in seventy-one
only six and saw them having fun
Laughing, crying and singing along
knew the words to all his songs 
Didn’t know all the meanings
but I joined in with the singing
Grownups thought it was cute 
and knew I couldn’t compute
Devastated to learn Sam Stone’s monkey didn’t exist 
when I turned in my Christmas list!
