makes a living out of playing wrong notes
said the sneering music critic
the piano aint got no wrong notes
said the man with the piano eyes
we all know who Thelonius Monk is
no one has heard of the music critic
or knows where he ended up

swimming
means getting wet
an umbrella
offers a little protection
against drenched ringlets
but not against sharks
they didn't want to know simple simon
so he got two owls instead
turned out well
one of the girls
a fancy pants
decided to play at
witchcraft
it worked
but no beginners luck here
she wrecked the wrong house
they are both now homeless
surprise surprise
they are seeing simple simon in a new light
endless possibilities
they cannot imagine how they overlooked
his attractiveness and in particular his generosity

perish the thought
no off the cuff stuff
on stage
ad._libbing results
often in a garbled read
sounds like middle english
best to have all the material
at ones fingertips
diana and the golden apples
jason and the golden fleece
are greek myths not true stories
if your phone conks out
press and jiggle
it still probably wont work
WORDS
perish press jiggle fingertips middle true fleece apples cuff garbled ad-lib read

thoughts of you
dear madame defarge
tricoteuse tragic knitting away
as the heads were displayed
the crowds cheered hooray
the streets ran like rivers of blood
the drums beat to the continual thud
people moved out because of the smell
an aristocrat's life became sheer hell
things had changed since the time of plenty
now their houses ransacked were all but empty
let them eat cake
she shouldn't have said
being a smart arse sadly
can cost you your head
