Working On A New Song - POEM

WORKING ON A NEW SONG

Jamming the guitar

Creating new riffs

Making up lyrics

About whatever’s

On my mind

I get something going

I get into it

I work the song

I play it over

A few times

I get the gist of it

Then I start all over

I perfect it

Until I feel it’s ready

I say, “Okay, nailed it,”

And then

I go over to my wife

With my acoustic guitar

And I say,

“Hey, babe, I got a new song.”

She wants me to show it to her

So I get comfy

Start playing the song

I play the guitar

It sounds about right

Then I start to sing

I’m doing okay

Then

I forget the chords

And the key to sing in

It all goes to shit

And I say, “Fuck it,

Let me go over it again.”

I go back to my studio;

Not really a studio,

But a room

Where I keep my guitars;

And

Start all over

Again
