On Jeff Lynne!

on Jeff Lynn

I didn’t mean to put Jeff Lynne 

Outside In the recycling bin -

When I should be keeping him!

And not to be dumped with potato skin

And other things, like bottles and tins

And your violin -my maestro king!

Love to hear you sing;

Legend of a living thing!

Your hairy face nearly met my fireplace!

Lost in time, stars and space;

The man I most admire

That’s almost set the world on fire.

I didn’t mean to disregard

Outside my back yard -

You are my trump card!

To you I have such deep regard.

Now I’m not proposing

That you’re decomposing

But you do possess

A knack to reprocess!

And didn’t think it at the time,

You’ve been so good with song and rhyme;

I’ve always thought you were terrific

Talented, gifted - and so prolific.

I want to admire and enjoy,

The thrilling skills you can employ.

I didn’t mean to almost destroy.....

Out of the blue the golden boy!
