Its Not Over Until The Fat Lady Sings Poems | Examples

Carry a Tune

the strong suit in this voice carries a tune,
echoes emphasized fills up the room,
speak to me...please,,in love and emotion,
but then the vibration would be shortened, and quickly forgotten in motion,
remembrance can come and be forgotten so quickly,
chords and tunes held in voice, memorized emotions spoke freely,
pouring out in prayer while singing in song,
holds onto those words and in love they last long,
they say, "its not over until the fat lady sings",
it's not said "it's all over until the fat lady speaks."
