Ode To Janis Joplin

All is Loneliness
Song title that tells the truth
About your life, Janis

Born in Texas, 
You seemed more at home in San Francisco
Or Portland with your rock and your blues

Your mezzo soprano vocals
Lit up the stage
You were electric!

Full Tilt Boogie Band
Kozmic Blues and Big Brother
Would have failed without you

Cheap thrills
Pieces of My Heart
And Ball and Chain would have never made it

You were here a mere twenty-seven years
But what a legacy!
You brought us the blues in a big way!

Cheap thrills
Song title that reflects your
Heroin overdose death, Janis
