The gig bag I bought should arrive today.
I got a shiny new Yamaha to go in it.
I already named her Black Beauty.
I've been staring into it for a minute.

Mirror mirror, play me a song.
I can't wait till daddy's here
to caress your strings and melt me;
might even sing some tears in my beer.

Always loved the acoustic babies
though I could never hold one on my own,
they say old dogs can learn new tricks
but my peace of mind won't leave me alone.

But hey, what more do I need?
I got a man who can play it real sweet,
he works on cars, he loves me right,
whew! He sweeps me off my feet!

We make for a fine threesome, you see...
my rainy-day man, Black Beauty, and me.

The premise of this poem is absolutely out there for all to see. The love between a man and a woman has survived the darts and bards' poetry to the contrary. I love it when I can read, "We make for a fine threesome, you see... / my rainy-day man, Black Beauty, and me."

Maybe you can't play, but you sure can write, the music, as wonderful as anyone ever could.

You are, a muse-ician Dixie, you play the pen like an elegant maestro.
