MORNING SOUNDTRACK
I. Cantante de Ducha
Part curtain, SCREEEEEE! riding the rod
SHEEEEE! Frigid herald announces hot blast
Crowd roars...okay, okay the water roars
I'd like to do a Blues number for y'all...
a JT jam "Well I'm a steamroller baby..."
II. Cantante de Vestirse
Carole King, "Tapestry," side A
Memories of little Bobby unwittingly memorizing
On the floor, Indian style, portable phonograph feeds me
50 years gone, I haven't missed a beat
Once mysterious lyrics, now clear, vicissitudes of life informing
III. Cantante de Manejo
Styx...no, Kansas...news maybe? Nah, Kansas
"Carry on my wayward son(red light)mmmmmmmmmmmmmm don't ya cry no more."
Other motorist, with envy, observe
Perhaps thinking. "why can't I be hip like that guy?"
Oh the things we tell ourselves en route to the bus stop.
IV. Escuchante de Autobús
On the bus, music shan't be sung
Within other passenger's hearing
Accordingly I hold my tongue
Evincing my decorous rearing
Ear buds, podcasts no one fearing
V. Caminante de bobble-head
Bus arrives...hard-rocker descending staircase
Craving morning aural caffeine
Distance to office with music timed perfectly
AC/DC, "Let There Be Rock," volume unsafe for any age
Forgo Bon Scott mimicry...opt for Angus Young head-bob
Part curtain, SCREEEEEE! riding the rod
SHEEEEE! Frigid herald announces hot blast
Crowd roars...okay, okay the water roars

Author's Note
Inspired by the "Set of 5 Short Poems" competition. I have this habit, annoying to some, of singing pretty much everywhere I go. My noggin contains a vast catalog of music through the ages. I now observe my children singing with joyous abandon. ¡Viva la música!

I love this! You intrigued me with the title...what else is better than writing besides music( ok maybe sex), but music is poetry!
I can't help but laugh considering your authors note because this is so me! I always have a tune stuck in my head & carry my playlist everywhere. I also annoy the hubby by putting many on repeat for an hour or so. Music feeds the soul & I'm not surprised that we agree! Best wishes in the competition... I've been pondering it myself. Regardless, an epic write, my dear. I was tickled pink to see it!;)

LOL! I enjoyed your commute to work, Gahddess! And some of the songs are from my era, e.g. - Kansas, Carol King, etc. I loved the busride! Holding your tongue and biting your lip so other passengers don't think you're crazy! I also enjoyed the observances of drivers listening to music while driving! I have watched so many ( and undoubtedly been watched ) I can literally envision that part!
As you always say, Bravissimo! Best of luck in the comp!

Thank you so much Ahavati. Oh so you're the other hip driver on the road. Let me pull up for a duet. I am super pleased that you like this piece. Josh's comp just gave me motive for the write. Keep singing like no one's watching.
