it was no secret
she drew the crowds
her musical gift was ambrosia from the gods
ticket holders melded with strangers
carrying pizza boxes wandering in
from the street
her critics (granny types )
obsessed with correctness
launched scalding attacks about her attire
they said her shrunk jeans
and off the shoulder shirt
were not appropriate
she would need to be covered up
to be permitted to play in the cathedral
liars
she could wear blue hair
she could wear red hair
she could wear a tutu
it wouldn't matter

How wonderful! So true the clothing and the hair don't matter. It makes me laugh! Way back in 1975 I graduated from high school. My class president gave a speech, and he was wearing purple sneakers! A couple who where there actually wrote a letter to the newspaper (not the school newspaper mind you, the city one!) about how disrespectful that was, how youth was on a downhill path, the school should have stopped him... on and on. Purple sneakers. Never mind he was the class president, and high achieving student off to a university. Those sneakers would ruin his life!
ReplyDeletePeople can be so petty.
ReplyDelete"Liars"😁😁😁
ReplyDeleteBravo. Another nice one.
Have a good weekend Rall
Much💛love
What wonderful playing! I love organ music. And a happy face is always a good look, no matter the clothing. You've used the words expertly, with such apparent ease, to weave an interesting and believable tale and get us all on side.
ReplyDeleteRemind me ... to NEVER be a granny type obsessed with correctness. LOL
ReplyDeleteI'd carry in a pizza box when I would come. A nice reading poem, Rall.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I left a comment earlier, but I don't see it here now??

Good for her! The world would've lost so much, if the "correctness" police that their way.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Talent is talent, genius is genius, do not be bothered by what "correct" people say.
ReplyDeleteHurrah for being true to oneselves! I’m disappointed that there are still such critical souls in my generation of grannies.
ReplyDeletePeople who distract themselves with the minutiae of appearance need some sort of therapy to retrain themselves to listen to words or music. Maybe just wearing dark glasses would help?
