Gordon Lightfoot

Showing my age, even if this came out when I was 7.

Years have passed,

and so have the recollections of the words.

Half of a lyric,

bringing back a memory,

knowing something was forgotten.

Staring at the jukebox.

Waiting for the next song.

yes, as Kelly said, many would ask what a jukebox is!

great song....and i really like the feel of your poem..

i was 24 when that song came out...so you think you are showing your age?

I was around 7, but I was hearing some great music. Playing Simon and Garfunkel. Forget our age, we learned the songs. Neil Young's entire run. Stories to be told.

Somewhere there are people scratching their heads wondering, what is a jukebox? Lol...good piece, Jon.

I love the song, "I'm Not Supposed To Care".

[Jon Roggie]

He has such a mellow sound. Almost tired sounding.

[J Todd Underhill]

I was just reading on him this morning and what a great song writer he is!

[Broken Branches]

Gordon is one of my favorites. I used to put together puzzles with his CD's playing. Sadly he's getting old and frail. Great poem.
