Howdy Dean, Well aren't YOU the one... stopping by to drop this twangy bluesy little ditty on TWG? It's a song, that's what it is. Just needs a little musical accompaniment. Wait'll DeeCross gets his hands on this. Right up his alley.

Will you write some more for us? What fun!

Cheers,

Yep,I could feel mah feet tappin' and mah head a-noddin' when I read this one. Loved the way the blues slowly went up your body (through your clothes, yet!) the day yore baby ran away.

Nice stuff and as Kat said . . . please sir, can we have some more?

Hi, Glad you liked it. I was kinda thinking song too when I wrote it, but my neighbor is in a band, and he thought it felt more like poetry. (what do I know anyway) I tried it out first on lanSR, and he told me I should post it here. I wish I could come up with more, but I think this one may have been a one shot deal.

Peace,

D

Hi, Thanks for the pat on the back!! Like I said, not a writer let alone a poet. This may have been my one shot. Ever hear of a one trick pony??

Peace,

Dean

One-trick ponies, one-shot deals... interesting theme. Suppose you take that up in your next poem|song?

Something like,

"He's just a one-trick pony

in the rodeo of life.

Just a one-shot deal

in this poker game of strife. [HELP - NEEDS WORK!]

He had a minor hit

some few years back

but since his well run dry

we ain't heard jack."

(Er, this is pure crap. Paging DeeCross, stat!)

Hey Dean...good stuff. Never rule yourself out. One-trick ponies can often surprise you! And welcome.

Keep in the game, my friend; it's fun if nothing else. Did you say you played an instrument? I think you did say that. All the better. It's a song; keep practicing.
