He's singing in the kitchen
" Didn't mean to hurt you...
sorry that I made you cry..."
I knew the rest
but didn't dare to sing it
I was scared of
the hurt it would
bring...

Imagine there's no cupcake
Someone in the house ate yours
No Krispy Kremes or KitKats
No pudding pops or s'mores
Imagine there's no halva 
Behind cupboard doors, oo hoo oo....

Jeweled lights are blinking
Jaunty tunes fill the room
Johnny B. Goode with Chuck
Jumpin' Jack Flash with Mick
Jerry Lee Lewis wails
John Lennon twists and shouts
Jitterbug all night long...

A hot summer afternoon
A news flash around noon
John Lennon shot dead
For infamy instead
Mark Chapman for the kill
For him just the thrill
And we lost a treasure
Gone from the world forever.

In another time and place
Music continues to play
As John Lennon caresses his keys
Giving sweet tunes away
If one day I meet him there I will have a smile
Ninety minutes a day would be my slice of heaven
Enjoying listening to him play...

(From Skiffle to Fame)

Quite good oldies do say
Quirky to the youth now
Quaint compared to these days.
Quoth Sir Paul McCartney
Quips John Lennon as well
Question’s metamorphosis.

aspirations
dare we dream …
     have hope

families fed
children loved …
     worldwide

farewell disease
no more wars …
     just love

as Lennon did
imagine …
     such joy

Listening through the words in a Beatles song
written by John Lennon
I thought of music but it's hard to construe
without thinking of the blues
If everything was art
you would be in a better place
to start
but your not
you go through time
like an echo...

you've got lined, leathery face,
astigmatic eyes well in place
behind what your generation
calls lennon bifocal sensation.

you still got a patch of dark hair,
but a closer, careful look there,
roots the tint of stainless spoon,
you need another dye job soon!...

What great impact the Beatles had on popular music
Their influence on the pop scene reflected our moral fabric
The killing of John Lennon in 1980
Caused such grief, this horrific tragedy
Here's my salute to the Fab Four for providing such unparalleled acoustics...

Barry out-homered Hank
His inspiration? May I be frank?
'Twas McCartney and Lennon and the poem they penned
"I get high with a little help from my friends"

***Hammerin' Hank was Hank Aaron's nickname...Barry Bonds broke his all-time home run record "with a little help" from his steroid friends...
