BASS GUITAR

 

 The bass guitar is not loud enough

 He explained solemnly

 Unless it rattles your cufflinks

 In the back row

 It's not concerned with melody

 Just there to add some body.

 

 That was a long time ago

 In our long hair days

 The next time we met

 His locks had disappeared

 Mine were slowly thinning

 I reminded him of his saying.

 

 He laughed mischievously

 Maturity suddenly fading

 Said he still felt the same

 Today's music is so boring

 Plug it in he said, turn it up

 Play until your ears are bleeding.
