Headphones

A teenaged girl boards her train,
Ed Sheeran's music filling her brain.

The boy nearly killed himself last night,
But old Billy Joel showed him the light.

The old rocker sat back in his chair,
As Clapton's Layla fills the air.

The little old lady loves jazz and swing,
Louie Armstrong is forever her king.

So what is it that they all have in common?
Headphones of course; they're flat out bombin'!

The music blares to listeners' delight;
Oh boy that music sure is outta sight!

So whenever I'm stressed, tired or bored,
Plug in those headphones for the music in store!

Author's Note

Not my best, but I wanted to put this down. I was inspired as i walked down the street and saw all of these people wearing headphones. I hope you liked it.

It had some great rhymes. I enjoyed reading it very much. I use an Ipod at the gym so I can relate.

I think the rhyme was very cute, actually. I laughed at "So what is it that they all have in common?
Headphones of course; they're flat out bombin'!" Haha I love poems about music, and this one is no exception. Good job, Will. :)

I tried to keep this one light, so I figured how else could I be funny than saying "bombin'"? I'm glad you liked it, Amanda.

Like this a lot! I love music - all kinds (yes, Louis Armstrong IS king!) :) Good rhyme, whimsical feel, and you have found the poetry in the everyday! Great and fun write, Will!

*In the second stanza - do you mean Billy Joel?

[Will]

Thanks, Rita! That second stanza was meant to be Billy Joel, I'll fix that now. Thanks for reading and reviewing as you always do so wonderfully
