I wish I could
go back in time
to the 1920s.
For if I could,
I’d fullfil my life-long dream of
being 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.
But you know what?
I was good.
