…I thank you. Encore? No, it is too much! I am exhausted from the effort of this composition. It is too much. I must rest. Thank you.

I will release this on SoundCloud as soon as copyright issues are clarified. Thank you.

  1. Love it 😁🖤

    1. Not a fan of that kind of prompt…in fact not a fan of any prompts. Poets are not performing sea lions. Too much else to write about imo.

      1. I wholeheartedly agree.
        I tried to write to a prompt once. It. didn’t go well. I’m just not that kind of writer… 👍🖤

      2. It is the start of a slippery slope: first someone gives you a prompt, you respond; next you look up and see a solitary cloud, you write a poem; then a host of flowers, yellow maybe, catch your eye and the next thing you know you think you’re William bloody Wordsworth. Be careful out there. 😊

      3. Haha! Indeed I shall 😁😉🖤

    Nice!

    Vengeance on the Avant-vapid ☻

    1. Thank you. I think I may have played this card before, with different intro / outro, but maybe not. They all sound the same to me.

    1. Hi Ron, We were asked to try and be funny…glad you rolled with it. It is one of my favourite tunes tbh!
