Jesse Winchester was a not so known famous Singer and songwriter who wrote many hits. His songs were recorded by Don Henley, Jimmy Buffet, The Everly brothers, and other famous singers. One of his famous songs that did not get the recognition it deserved was Sham A Ling Dong Ding. Elvis Costello did a stage concert on Youtube and Jesse Winchester sang this song. People were left in tears. Well soon a quartet did the song and its harmonies brings you to a heartfelt place as the songs words play. First go to YouTube and listened to Jesse Winchester song Sham A Ling Dong Ding performed on stage with Elvis Costello. After hearing and taking in the meaning and harmony of the song then go to YouTube and type in Sham A Ling Dong Ding Doubledouble qurartet and listen to their rendition of this song in Acapella. Truly amazing... Jesse Winchester's music will live on.
Also here are a few hits from Jesse. I wave bye bye, Little glass of wine, Tennessee Waltz, and many others.
Inspired by Jack Ellison Poem Acapella Groups.

Dedicated to becoming a young successful woman
Everly so pretty and deserving of a kiss on the lips
Spiritually coming out of the cave and seeking truth
Testifying of all your sins and making a blessing to a young man with an interest in you
Intelligence is a gift you have and that you must believe in yourself
Noble is how you are in manner and respect to me
Young and vibrant, I can see you as the mother of my children, my love.

Trump Will Never Miss
Trump will never miss;
Considered cantankerous;
Death do seal with kiss.
Maybe I can round up
the Everly Brothers who
are high in the sky to
start sing some of my
poems.
Is a ding a ling
Or maybe say wrong ding dong
Odor sure seems strong.
Adore an odor. Wow. Things
have started smelling rotten
not grand in Trumpland. He
is leaving many permanent
scars and marks on everyone
in his den of iniquity. So we
did move all of the rotten
smell to Denmark instead.
Let me know about something.
Should I just keep building up
the number of my poems to
indicate how popular I am or
just combine them together
into one Poetry Soup entry?
Apply a comment to this poem
and let me know what you
think about the subject I am
subjecting you to. If the object
of this you abject to, let me know
about that also.

Sealed With A Kiss
Last night again messaged my wife's feet
Who I do love and sure is so sweet
We have been married for fifty years
That night to my eyes came some tears
When I thought about Hillary' defeat.
Every night continue to do this
Thought of Hillary and her do miss
My wife is forever my darling dear
Glad God for me put her here
My love for her was sealed with a kiss.
I remember when the Everly Brothers
sang, "Sealed With A Kiss."

The serpent closed in on Eve at twilight
A nebulous shape in the half light, fangs
Hidden beneath his hood and she, her vision
Blurred was completely beguiled by his lies.
He bought her white roses that she watered
With her tears and chocolate dark like his soul.
He spiced his lies with compliments and promises
And she was completely beguiled by his lies.
Like a sponge he sucked her resources and lied.
When heavy with her giving heart he gave
His time to Evie then Everly and finally to
Every woman or girl who glittered like gold.
He matured and widened his audience to include
Even his friends. He borrowed, stole, swindled
Gambled, smiled and lied, lied and smiled
Until his conscience died and he wreaked havoc
On the lives of those who loved him most.
Now he's just a rat who slinks into his hole, scorned,
shunned that’s his due, and finally I want him to
know, I’ve put his portrait on Poetry Soup and all
will remember him as the-serpent-turned-rat
who drowned in his bowl of soup.

When Slippery Susie starts to stare
Everson Everly is happy to share
Entices Everson yes she can
Does as she likes as she leads her man
So it seems Susie is the one
Mistake it may be or can this be done
Ordinary question where is the answer
Kicking purple heels on the floor a dancer
Enjoying the Music that they create; regardless...

My Song
“ I’m on top of the world lookin’ down on creation”
And need no explanation
Of this feeling of pure love
That I feel for you my dove
“Whenever I want you all I have to do is”
Call your name and taste your kiss
Hold you in my arms
Forever by my charms
“And I really do miss you’re smile”
It has been quite a while
Since our love has soared
And hot passions roared
“When I’m feeling blue”
The only thing I do
Is remember you
And the birds start to coo

2. Everly Brothers
