The poem before the song...

Staring at the flickering screen
my eyes begin to numb
I go and grab some more caffeine
what have I now done
an office chair at home so plush
tucked in a corner space
just sitting here when came a rush
brought a smile right to my face
its 1 AM this days been long
its time I go to bed
I'll close this out with a new song
that just popped in my head


Our University song
By X4 Kenny

Vs1
Finger picking killer slide
hybrid playing too
gear reviews and improv help
all stuff you never knew

Vs2
Guitar techs and guru mods
featured members radio
backing tracks all kind of facts
even on home studios

Chorus
G F B&B
the only place you need to be
you'll be the best with your degree
from Lorange & Mullins University

Vs3
Guitar news and polling booths
great troubleshooting threads
get feedback on your playing
and showcase your best shreds

Vs4
Collaborations archive files
a music lounge to rest
Teachers, Idols, Specialist
this forum is the best

Chorus
G F B&B
the only place you need to be
you'll be the best with your degree
from Lorange & Mullins University

Where am I

I'm sure this is going somewhere, hopefully we'll know where it is when we get there, can we have elves instead of elvies I know he's the king of rock'n'roll but it unnerves me a bit

A new sunrise dries weeping leaves while songbirds sing sweet melodies
The willow tree was dancing............................ ever so gently in the breeze
{spoken} While elvies and fairies played below

Dew Drops adorned her branches Like diamonds glowing bright
that appeared to me..............................In the twilight of the night
{spoken} prism-like reflections lit the show

I thought they were just stories read from books on grandma's knee
And I watched them chase their shadows......... as they began to flee
{spoken} and I knew it was time for me to go

To take flight and travel to distant lands, hotter climes with shifting sands
We move on as time decrees............................youth must pass by
{spoken} No more love trysts 'neath willow trees

Give me a break I'm an Artist, I'm very emotional

[X4StringDrive]

Give me a break I'm an Artist, I'm very emotional
I write off the cuff in a way that some call irrational

I like this one

I'm an Artist (I think)

Give me a break I'm an Artist, I'm very emotional
I write off the cuff in a way that some call irrational
I smoke herbal Cigarettes, they're purely medicinal
I love lots of people but it's always conditional

When I hang out with friends I sound quite reactionary
But I'm just quoting words from the New Oxford Dictionary
I paint new age art and do amateur dramatics
On weekends I protest with left wing fanatics

[starsailor]

I've added a bit and a chorus, whos turn is it

I'm an Artist (I think)

Give me a break I'm an Artist, I'm very emotional
I write off the cuff in a way that some call irrational
I smoke herbal Cigarettes, they're purely medicinal
I love lots of people but it's always conditional

When I hang out with friends I sound quite reactionary
But I'm just quoting words from the New Oxford Dictionary
I paint new age art and do amateur dramatics
On weekends I protest with left wing fanatics

Chorus

Yes I am an Artist
At least I think I am
I've met the Dalai Lama
Done Origami in Japan
My mind is so enlightened
I can write and I can Paint
I'm more than just an Artist
I could be a Patron Saint

[carol m]

Chris, you've excelled
And I'm feeling compelled
In fact I'm propelled
To compile and then meld
Praise as vast as the veld -
I'm not sure if that's spelled right
Or if its confusing
But I find that your musing
Is very amusing
But if you're consorting
With left wingers, that's sporting
But could get you into a fight.

[starsailor]

Thanking you Carol
Glad you could catch me
I fear though this time
You matched me in verse
So I've just written this
With no time to rehearse
I quite like like that song
And think it's alright
But I'd much rather love
Than get into a fight

[carol m]

You speak much that is wise
But you cannot disguise
That for one of your size-
(6stone 9 with great thighs)
In the great sport of boxing
You need to keep foxing.

If you want a reprieve
You must dodge and then weave
And not stumble or freeze
In a fight to achieve
That golden first prize
Instead of black eyes

[X4StringDrive]

I thought I'd write a carol
On a cool Chris pa Knight
this is not meant as imperil
have you all taken flight?

[starsailor]

No fear, we're still here
Just took a short sojourn,
Working on some other stuff
Had some guitar to learn
Still sounded a bit rough I feared
So tried to put it right
And my Daughter had her baby
So We,ve been up all night

[X4StringDrive]

Congratulations Grandpa
hope all are doing well
before I head out for the day
what gender please do tell

[starsailor]

A little baby girl my friend
Weighing six pounds four
She's beautiful and sweet
We couldn't love her more
My daughter is quite tired
Though both are doing fine
Her partner's got the night shift
So the punishment
Fits the crime

Thanks Kenny suddenly I feel a little older but at the same time very Proud of my Daughter she delivered without any pain relief she's a tough girl. My GrandDaughter's called Lily Mai

[X4StringDrive]

Thats great Chris, glad to hear, wheres the cigars?
My younger sister's daughter had a girl a month ago, made me a grand uncle, but we have no kids so the joy of being "grandpa" I'll never know.....Enjoy
looking forward to some pix!

[carol m]

Hi there you guys
Well, what a surprise
I thought you were busy
Composing your ditty
When all of the time
There were moments sublime
The daughter of Chris
(One talented Miss)
Was doing her bit
While the rest of us sit
Around playing guitar
And singing tra la
And never suspecting
She was even expecting!


Now your daughter I fancy
Has matched our dear Clancy
With a beautiful girl
For her grand-dad to twirl
With his muse standing by
For a sweet lullaby
Of promises to keep
That will send her to sleep
When he's not being daft
And making her laugh.
Now I have to report
That I'm four lines too short
In my effort to match
My previous snatch
Of verse, but much worse
I've now done the reverse
This verse has too many
But its a dime to a penny
It still will be read
So I'm off to bed.

Congrats, gramps!

My Sister in law doesn't have any Children but I think she gets a lot of pleasure from the Children in the Family, she's a Midwife and she delivered Lily Mai I think that made her very happy, the downside for me at the moment is that we decided to keep my Daughter close by for a few weeks as she's quite young and she needs a bit of time to adapt, due to this I have kindly vacated my room for her and am reduced to sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room, I think I'm going to have to get a bigger house Thanks for your kind thoughts Kenny, I'll take some pics and post them today, I'll have to post you a Cigar

All the Best

Chris

Chris,
Congrats on the granddaughter, I am sure that she is beautiful. The old expression "If I had know that grandchildren were this much fun, I would have had them first" is all to true. They are a joy and I wish you and yours much love and happiness.
