I Wanted To Write A Song About ...

________________________________________________________________________________________________


I wanted to write a song
about someone
who did not belong
to the songwriters' club

His name was BUB
but no lyrics
bubbled
in his brain
until he
got caught
in the rain
with
 a strong breeze
 
Then back indoors
he started to sneeze
 
He knew what to do:
he wrote a song called
Ah-Choo
rhyming the title with
Boo
Shoe
True
and Poo
 
The songwriters' club
welcomed his
membership checks
and sent him
a Kleenex

    Didn't BUB write a follow-up to Ah-Choo entitled Gesundheit?
