Something I posted on the forum a while ago...
The Pied Piper Of Canada
Spouting off words like some rock star sage
Arms flailing, head bobbing
He's an odd terpsichore of the stage
Like some pied piper, his voice transfixes the crowd
Entranced in his lyrics, they sing along
Eyes widened in excitement and very wowed
If he messess up a lyric they don't care
He's a goddamed genius
And they are thrilled to just be breathing the same air
He sings of far away places and some not too far
He sings about hockey, cops in love
He even sings about vaccination scars
A rock star that writes poetry, for he is a sensitive man
His name is Gordon Downie
And The Tragically Hip are his Band
and this is one I wrote about a former boyfriend who is a hip fan and a drummer...
You'll never write like Gord
You'll never play like Fay
You'll wake to find someday
You'll always be tragic
But you'll never be hip
and I have a really good one I wrote about this ex but I don't want to post it publicly.
