I

Would love

To be able

To play the guitar

And sing as I played

Country and western songs from history.

And

Also sing

As I strummed

Folk songs from the

60’s and 70’s and 80’s

Before

Modern music

With its awfulness

Poked its shrieking interference

Into a world of discordant

Manifestation

That has

Shattered the joy

Playing and unison singing

Once generated for us all.
