Lately I Have Desperately Pondered

A Poem by Dig a Pony

I'll strike all the right chords for you my dear, and when the beat starts moving through you, you'll understand
Understand how sticking to you does not require the use of tacks or glue
Then those strips of film will move from the screen to your stereo in such a manner that you will have no choice but to go
Oh lately I have desperately pondered if a 4/4 beat could keep you in my stride
But no matter the signature, you and I are keeping time
Hold on now, don't turn the dial
We're only a moment's notice into the song
So when I give you a marker, my dear, make sure the words don't come out wrong
Before we go blue (yes, seven shades of blue), I think we should think of the right words to say
Words like "Hello", "Darling", "How", "Are", "You", "Today"
Which is your favorite string? so I can play another tune
Give it a name and I can play more than two
