Sentimental Reasons

This is a verse for Patti Page

A singer from a simpler age,

When songs about a pet shop pup

Could light the local jukebox up,

A gentle waltz from Tennessee

Could be a hit for such as she.

The mockingbird up on the hill,

Like Patti Page, would sing until,

One hundred million records sold,

She died at eight-five years old.

Different Strokes

When dad’s a Broadway star,

But you’d rather play guitar,

  You might at first be hesitant to play it,

But to thyself be true,

And success will come to you,

  At least that’s how it worked for Bonnie Raitt.
