Music Passion Four
Pop Rock
The dresser top radio blares
610 KFRC!
Morning! Up and at ‘em!
dad coaxes patiently.
“Ahhh do a little dance,
make a little love,
get down tonight”
ten year old self
sings along
It’s all about the upbeat mood
not the lyrics of the song
popular music was the way
I made it through
my grammar school day
Fanfare drum beats
sweet keyboard sounds
The Spinners pose my question
“Could it be I’m falling in love?”
belly tingles with the suggestion
Mary, my second grade sweetheart
genesis crush, first hand to my glove
too quickly gave heartbreak its start
first lesson in the mysteries of love
Phoebe’s guitar heralds bliss
her calming voice croons
a ooo yeah yeahy yeahy yeah
my “Poetry Man” heart swoons
tune still like a tender kiss
five decades passed away
Apollo rocket launches
spaceman plants colors
to a pump’n Pretender’s jam
MTV became hot topic
of many high school lunches
bands that were unknown to many
now from the tube scream here I am
did you see that Billy Squire?
It’s bitch’n
that new Roxette is awesome!
Who the hell’s Spandau Ballet
“Work Till You’re Muscle Bound”
Yeah, I’ll work on that today
“Freeze Frame” dude that’s hot
“Addicted To Love” is hotter
I like Pat Benatar a lot
If she were here I’d uh...kiss her
Thank God for my musical history
praise be for long memorized measures
when seems life progresses abysmally
singing songs bring singular pleasure

Author's Note
Since I was a child I've possessed the uncanny ability to memorize songs. When belting out a tune while driving some may even think that I'm actually possessed😁 I'm not unlike the prince, in The Holy Grail, who eschews the "large tracts of land" and would "rather just sing."😀🎶🎶🎶

Oooo BB! Your voice is smooth like buttah!!🎶... and saying up front and with all honesty —I'm not responsible for the panties thrown upon the stage as you were singing......I'm not saying outright that they are technically "mine"... I'm saying that I may or may not have seen the compromised party.... (Tee hee hee!) 👙ha! 😂 Seriously, I really enjoyed listening to your SW and your wee bit of teasing with your singing snippets. Clever and cute additions that fit very well for your lovely write. I deeply felt the nostalgia and love of words and your love of singing, too. Just a thoughtful, personalized and perfect GW creation.
(I liked Spandau Ballet too, btw! hahaha... Maybe it was the hair!!!) giggles 🤭...
I thank you for sharing :)
Outstanding!!!
