I find that now I'm not rehearsing-
It's head to page in all my versing.
I think this might be a mistake
(And as for nerve it takes the cake)
I'm mindful of Les Jones' great adage
That, if you want to craft a package
Full of joy and added meaning
Avoiding flubs (they're so demeaning)
The re-write's always quite essential
Especially in matters existential.
Note to Chris, the answer's yes
Your brain is clearly in a mess
Mine is too, so don't feel bad
I'm going to blame mine on my Dad.

One good thing about music is that when it hits you, you feel no pain - Bob Marley
