Devil of a Rock Band

Now sit right down oh son of mine.

I am going to sing a song so fine.

The lyrics are yours so sing along.

This is going to be a devil of a song.

Whistle a tune without any sound.

Quietly ,the devil comes to town.

Hop right in this big freight truck.

Now the devil will spin your luck.

Come in don't wait, a solo performance.

The devil and his son, a show so enormous. 

For I am a devil but appear to be man.

Dancing, singing, in the devil rock band.

Standing on stage they party all night.

Knowing the crowd is in sheer delight.

Clap, clap ,clap, or the devil will fine.

Like Lawrence Welk,clinging to the times.

Over and over the devils song is so long.

It will not be over even when you are gone.

Devil he grabs the big microphone.

It is better to be with me then all alone.

Whistle while you work with not any sound.

For the devil and his son are rocking this town.

interesting poem
i start thinking its a morality tale
but the moral of the story is soaked in ambiguity
wonderfully lyrical poem Holly
when the devil went down to Georgia....

[Holly Mason]

he was looking for a poet to steal
to bad he was way behind
the agents hot writing deal
he bet a pen of gold
against your soul
that he can write better then me...I just can't write you it seems mean*)
thank you so much that was fun

[riskrapper]

your on fire girlfriend...
may the muse be with you.....

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Makes me think of my youth when adults said the music we listened to was the devil's music but we cranked it up as we tore up the night.

A really fun and creative read.
