Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo etc.....(Collage)A Poem by HuwShe listened to the radio when she was young about the time a man saw the needle and the damage done while another saw Calypso sailing into the winds The lady thought you were vain and you thought her song was about you. A woman whiled away the days at the Chelsea Hotel while he noticed a bird on the wire as he listened to the drunks singing their midnight songs Then a man admitted he couldn't get no satisfaction While another found his in purple haze A guy went to a dance where he thought he'd take a chance as some other guy drove his Chevy to the levy finding it dry The man advised us to rock around the clock while another prized his blue suede shoes. Then there was the girl who hated Mondays While Sunday was declared bloody by another Mr Bojangles danced, oh yeah, Mr Bojangles danced On starry nights Vincent painted blue and grey Someone was taken by the hand around the streets of London while elsewhere people wore flowers in their hair and tripped The lady lived her life like a candle in the wind while another declared that she will survive Desperado would come down from his fences and come to his senses That lady was being killed softly by his song while Captain Farrell was counting out his money and Guitar George played chords and the rhythm The man was taking a walk on the wild side as the coloured girls went, Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo.... © 2015 Huw
