I witnessed the juxtaposition
and was humbled
to witness such
while running
through the thirsty rain
I listened to Huey Lewis
sing ‘The Power of Love’
and smiled at the irony
and I remembered
my high school teacher repeat:
“Pay attention.
Pay attention.”
Pay attention!
Roy G Biv
Rainbow order
has to do with music too
and math
Robin red breast
orange Julius
yellow bellied coward
Greenland
Blues music
Indigo’s child
Violets

a reminder of my childhood
and my teacher, Mrs. Kay
Music came out of my fingers
made me dance all over the wall
My parents were askance
For I was a newborn from a small town
I was tapping my fingers on my highchair tray at one
Loving the feeling of playing my own trombone or drum
I was a musician, so they called me Table Top Joe
It was not even my name, but that’s how I evolved
Kindergarten teacher was Miss Alyson, who was pretty and quick
She let my fingers play the piano as a reward if I did my work
Work in kindergarten? That is crazy I told myself. And it was.
Every day at school was a waste of time.
How did it get me closer to fame?
Fortune?
My destiny?
I played the game as long as I could
Then I ran away to become the real me.
A musician who drums on everything he can reach.
Tabletop Joe!
Antonio Salieri of Legano
teacher of the famous you may know
Beethoven Schubert &Liszt by name
but Amadeus the film brought more acclaim
My foreign music teacher my loins disturb,
her grammar poor but her Brazilian superb.
She yelled “Ay, Caramba!
Do you wanna samba?”
I do love to dance but no Miss, wrong verb!

~ A Chopin Prelude ~
A young lass by mistake downed a Quaalude
Removed her clothes, played a Chopin prelude
Male teacher at her peeked
Then she let out a shriek
"It's not lesson time ~ Are you ever rude!"

~ Yelp to the Rescue ~
Jeeves was driving Madame home in the fog
When he suddenly ran over a dog
The dog let out a yelp
A vet showed up to help
Limo's fine now he's put in a new cog
Music is a window to the world
a portal to our hearts
In its key of life, in its ebb and flow
there beats the finest art
Inspiration for this poem flowed from
the last lines of Sunshine Smiles' poem,
'My Teacher and Professor,' posted on
October 08, 2019.
A spider a day keeps the apple away.
A spider a day makes the day oh so gray!
A spider a day, so it must be almost May!
At the top of our lungs now, everybody sing.
Spider! Spider! Spider!
Another teacher runs in. What are you doing?
Teaching them a new song.
Who are you?
I am a substitute teacher who kept trying not to take this job.
Why did you take it? They told me I did not have to know music
to be the music teacher today.
Stern look now. Where are the lesson plans?
I hand them over.
It says play this on the piano, play this on the guitar, and teach
the 6th graders how to read musical scores.
The teacher looks at me, looks at the sixth graders,
and says carry on. I think you are doing a heck of a job.
We start marching next.
When he played his violin magic took place!
A sense of serenity shown on his face.
A lover of music so gifted in art...
A teacher to many, known for his sweet heart.
Poetry would become his passion, his need...
A master of poetry in the words that he freed.
The strings are now quiet with music no more.
Still students recall the teacher they adore.
His words we can cherish with fond memories...
A legacy of gems for new reveries.
