Were you to walk on blazing coals , not far behind am I
Helped to achieve our common goals here where the answer lies
Each word in orchestration whether "doo-wop" or "Doo-dah "
Re-sounds in syncopation like some funky kind of "Ska"

Each word a diff'rent instrument , that works together well
You designate the songs content , I'll chime in like a bell
Once in a while dis-chord may strike as I am still an oaf
Un-easily before the mike I make mistakes like so

Lest you may think me quite tone deaf , for me to keep this real
Explain I must , that rhyme bereft , 'twas amplifier squeal
And having twisted things around once more it's time to go
Duets have a peculiar sound , when sung by one , you know

Doc's just a one man band... and pretty good at it too... I have a feeling he's going for extra credit though...

BTW... I hope everyone noticed that this is not only a DOUBLE ACROSTIC - It's also written in perfect iambic heptameter... (da-DUM) with seven metric feet per line..
