I wish I could go back in time
to the 1920s.
Then I could,
ful-fill my
life-long dream of
becoming a
tin-pan alley songwriter.
And if I was lucky,
and I worked hard at my craft,
maybe I could get
Bing Crosby
to sing my
new hit song,
Strawberry Fields Forever
*
When I was a kid
I wanted to
learn how to play the piano,
but my parents
couldn’t afford to
buy me an
entire piano,
but they did get me the piano stool.
So, I mostly practiced
my posture.
And you know what?
I was good.
Love it! Same story, only I got an accordion. Same deal. I have perfect posture.

Bravo! We with good posture must band together and not form a band.

Posture is important, so not a bad deal, really.

And yet, my posture was booed at Carnegie Hall. Or, maybe it was that I was in the front row and wouldn’t sit down.

Ahh, OK, now I get it. I know, earlier, I said, ‘tracked’, but I just didn’t want you to think I wasn’t up on the latest neologism.

I sometimes wonder whatever became of my old piano teacher, Mrs. Johnson. A nice lady, but I just didn’t have any interest in learning classical piano.
