My Pool Cue Ain't Straight Poem by Barry Middleton

My Pool Cue Ain't Straight



my pool cue ain't straight anymore
my pool cue ain't straight anymore
my pool cue, ain't straight
I'm a dollar short and another day late
my pool cue ain't straight anymore

my rooster don't crow anymore
my rooster don't crow anymore
my rooster, don't crow
no cock-a-doodle-doo at the rodeo
my rooster don't crow anymore

my froggie don't croak anymore
my froggie don't croak anymore
my froggie, don't croak
he hopped on away and it ain't no joke
my froggie don't croak anymore

my hens don't lay anymore
my hens don't lay anymore
my hens, don't lay
they took my eggs and they ran away
my hens don't lay anymore

my guitar ain't strung anymore
my guitar ain't strung anymore
my guitar, ain't strung
my song is over and I come undone
my guitar ain't strung anymore

my pigeon don't fly anymore
my pigeon don't fly anymore
my pigeon, don't fly
she lost her feathers with another guy
my pigeon don't fly anymore

ain't goin nowhere anymore
ain't goin nowhere anymore
ain't goin, nowhere
gotta stay here ‘cause I took the dare
ain't goin nowhere anymore

Hi Barry, When I read the title of the poem, I had to click. I like your sense of rhythm and rhyme. I feel you.

LOL - I wrote this and several other songs when I was torqued on steroids during chemo a year ago.
