On Diamond Rings and Back Porch Swings


I ain’t alone
Blues’ sultry harmonica coos

I’ll get by
Jazz reminds me with razzmatazz

Harmony transcends
Classical croons international

Fear not freedom
Techno brings down walls in tempo

Love’s a tragicomedy
Opera’s o solo mio trills in joy macabra

Feel the beat
Latin keeps my feet movin’ in Manhattan

Everyday danser
Zydeco revs stompin’ into mode turbo

But to secret tunes I sing and dare not admit
Lest I be taken for a complete nitwit

My clandestine crime in terms musical
That makes me uncool in things acoustical

Is how when no one is watching
And the radio’s on

I roll up the car windows
And sing along

To Country
