_____ verse

This morning I have poetry

in my head

but not a damned thing to say

I've got the rhythm

but no words

wish I were a drummer

or a pianist

Man, I wish I were

a pianist

I even have a piano

in my house

I took some lessons.

But alas

I've not gotten there

So, I'm stuck

Billy Preston had a song

with no melody

and it made him a

pretty penny

I just don't see a poem

without words

moving anyone

or moving me

for that matter

Damn, now Billy Preston

has overtaken my rhythm
