Image Inspiring Poem Composed Of Fabled Song Lyrics/Titles

________________________________________________________________________________________________


I shot the Sheriff tree

and got thirty days

 

But the judge

winked at this

brown-eyed 

handsome man

 

I ran as fast as I can

I was a hungry man

 

But under my thumb

was a bowl of jumbalaya

and a crawfish pie

so I thanked the sky

 

And  hit the road, Jack

never to turn back

 

On Route 66

I got my kicks and more

with a detour 

to Memphis, Tennessee

and on that scene

I met Jolene

 

Hello Dolly

and goodbye to

yesterday.

***

Dedicated to Tim Buckley and Brian Jones,

with gratitude to Chuck Berry,

Hank Williams, Dolly Parton,

Bob Marley and [of course]

the Beatles ________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Mick Jagger + Keith Richards wrote Under My Thumb.
    Isn't it blasphemous for you to exclude them from
    your gratitude list?
