If you put these words to melody
would they suddenly be known?
my poems played across the world
to an audience that's grown?
I've no melody in mind
only scribbles on a page
though as music comes and goes
my poems never age
The rhythm is the meter
the title acts as bass
the words that rhyme in every line
are notes you can't replace
They say all songs are poems
but it's rectangles and squares
Yes, all songs are poems,
but some poems don't get there.
There's a party in the penthouse
where people come and go
admission is free and based on nothing
and if you go once, you'll never truly leave.
It's not hard to get in, but you won't be invited
Listen to my tale of woe
from the olden days
Sir Jack, he was a nobleman
who worked in all the trades.
The Queens, they all adored him
for he never missed croquet
the Kings called him for gin and rum
Half a turkey burger
add cheese
I want salad and fries
plus ketchup
and a cup of buttered noodles
because why should I have to choose
are you writing this down?
A drink, yes
