Julie Draper Poet Rhyme

Ukulele Fandom

I have a concert uke
It's my favourite possession
It’s all I can talk about
It's becoming an obsession

Playing day and night
Loudly singing out of key
Wildly optimistic
About my ability

Learning all the cheat chords
And faking all the rest
I play the only strum I know
Hoping for the best

And now I have uke envy
I haunt the music store
Looking at other ukes
And wanting to buy more

Boring everyone to tears
With my ukulele chat
I’m a ukulele fan now….
And there’s no going back

Terry Ireland April 29, 2023 at 10:14 PM I once asked my stepson how many guitars he needed - just one more than I’ve got was his quick reply. Maybe Ukes are the same. Love your poem Julie . Julie Draper April 30, 2023 at 9:21 PM Thanks very much Terry. I'm up to three ukes and counting, so I know just where your stepson is coming from! :)
