Out of Rhythm and Blues

by Larry Chamberlin   Jul 5, 2018


Neon guitars and Day-Glow stars
no longer put a grin upon my face;
cast Sgt Pepper’s coat into the moat
and sold my four-string bass.

Dopey bubs in smokey Clubs,
bars in Holiday Inn can’t pay
a wage to keep me up on-stage;
so this dark night yields to day.

The music scene is just a dream
kept me smoking lotus blossom;
bye bye Bob, need a better job;
getting married is so awesome.

    judging comment-

    This rhyme is rhythmic and fun!

    The message speaks of musicians and the tough road they play, growing older and leading a more stable life.
    I truly love the visuals and it can lead to a metaphoric message of age and meaning of life.

    The reference to The Beatles and Bob Dylan put a smile upon my face. Awesome poem by Larry!
