That would be a bummer
Dressed all up for the summer
Just to see
The mighty sea
Ready to strum up the drummer!

solemn raindrops fall
in rhythmic pitter patter
dancing on the tin roof
as the lonely drummer boy
marches on

The rain beats down on the roof 
like a drummer beats his drum.. 
lightly it fall then hard it comes 
the music of rain drops 
at hit the roof....

On Christmas Eve, Oh Carol!
Put on risqué apparel -
Santa and elves in eyeball thwack, 
A little drummer boy in shock!

Charlie Watts

Rolling Stone Charlie Watts
First learned on pans and pots
'fore becoming a rock and roll drummer
Wearing flowers in his hair one 1968 summer...

Why the jasmine was
now becoming sensual ?
Drummer was dead.

The blackbird comes 
again to sing bluesy.
Clouds on moon ?

Economy of love ?
Will you bargain the
delta for stone ?

Little black drummer 
Hiding in the corner,
Playing his little drum
All the night long.
It's sounding kind of hazy;
I think I am going crazy
From listening to the rhythm
Of his little drum song....

Haven't felt warm since the end of the summer
Usually don't have a problem but this is a bummer
Where is that spring
Warm sunshine it brings
Only one more month and I'll be a happy drummer...

Haven't felt warm since the end of the summer
Usually don't have a problem but this is a bummer
Where is that spring
Warm sunshine it brings
Only four more months and I'll be a happy drummer...

his fingers could play a piano they are long and thin
but they like the conga drums, he plays with vim
they prance and dance over the head showing off their slim
He is the ultimate drummer, Chicago Music Man Jim....

You occupy all four
Your love is the donor
You‘re my heartbeat therefore

Your love trauma
My induced coma 
A heart transplant, no time sooner

My healthier flora
My rhythm, my drummer
Your beat in me forevermore...

brightness
mocks the darkness
furrowed footprints
wander
across the blank page
blown clean
by gusty gales
cold taunts lifeless trees
a lone leaf dances
to a distant drummer

The sexy man,
  with his saxphone/
  The drummer boy
  always dreaming...
  Why they dream... ?
  Why the guitar man
  seems to be guilty ?
  and the man with harmonica
  has no harmony ?
 Why life has to be that way ?...

A group i knew had an incredible sound
A number one hit up the pop charts bound,
The drummer played with plenty of heart
Every second beat a well formed fart,
The stage show a new experience found.

A shinning stone has left us 
skipping gaily toward heaven
tapping on Saint Peter's door 
with a pair of pearly drumsticks
leaving rift and ripple in our hearts
a million doors are painted black.
Rest in Peace-sweet drummer man~...

Is any other season merrier,
or more wonderful than Yule?
Christ, the Child is our Redeemer:
shouldn't we believe He came to rule?
Let's greet Him with songs and drums!
Let's follow the drummer boy who hums!

Little drummer boy with a rum-tum-dumb
Beat out a melody in ghetto slum
Fuzz drove slowly by
Saw Santa in sky
Consumed donuts as he fell on his bum

like a river the thought of you flows through my head....
like an athlete you running through my mind....
like a drummer you make my heart beats a little faster..
like a mental to a magnet am attracted to you .....

July!
You’re here
On the Fourth
Waving the flag.
Mustard stains and blood
In step with time’s drummer,
Sorrows shared by those who know
The cost of Independence Day.
The lilting sound of taps at sunset
Whispering a prayer of thanksgiving.

Oh your smile brightly gleams
In my sweet summer dreams
In the sun-reflected streams
Then your smile beams
brightly again

Ones again the summer goes 
Its a bummer that the drummer 
Cried on the plummers fries 

Oh your smile is pretty
Its most pretty 
In the city...

’Twas a drummer who drummed on his drum
using two fingers and his right thumb.
To an anapest’s ear,
it would sound pretty clear;
to the rest, lacked a certain aplomb.

the dumbest sports model
an open bottle and an NFL player
especially if they used to be a gator
come on steve spurrier

and say you paid marc richt
before i make it stick
knife point style...
