I wrote a poem today
Cute, Clever. So what went wrong?
I wrote a poem today
But I wished I'd written a song
A funny poem can be a moment's fun
It's personal, when aimed at one
But a song can entertain the world
Brighten dim dawns, console setting suns
A simple phrase can become all the rage
Words which dance, leap off the page
I'd rather enhance, strut across a stage
Despite age, wave a mike, sing a song
One famed speech for an investiture
Inspires students of tender years
Calms fears, moves to laughter or tears
But a strong song adds emotional gestures
Songs evoke nostalgia, love and laughter
Provoke, stoke, stroke, prevent a murder
Songs entertain, drummed, hummed forever
Bring millions hope and lasting pleasure.
