Topic: a small story

this is a poem (rhyme) that i posted in poems, but the concensus seems to be for me to make it into a song, wah lah

A SMALL STORYUndefined


[A] IN A VERY SMALL HOUSE IN A VERY SMALL TOWN


LIVED A VERY SMALL MAN AND HIS NAME WAS BROWN




[D] THE STREET WAS SMALL AND HIS DOG WAS SMALL


BUT THE [E] MAN NEXT DOOR WAS VERY, VERY [A] TALL




[A] “MY NAME IS ED”, THE TALL MAN SAID


“BUT MY HOUSE IS SMALL, SO I BUMP MY HEAD”




“WELL [D] THAT’S A SHAME, MY NAME IS BROWN


IF [E] I CAN HELP, I WONT LET YOU [A] DOWN”




“WELL, THAT’S VERY KIND, MR BROWN”, SAID ED


“I NEED SOME HELP TO CARRY THIS BED…




THE [D] STAIRS ARE STEEP AND THE BED IS LONG


BUT [E] IF YOU HELP I’LL SING A [A] SONG”-(RIFF)




AND SO [A] ED AND BROWN BECAME BIG FRIENDS



AND THEY TALK EACH NIGHT AS THE LONG DAY ENDS




IN THE [D] LITTLE STREET IN A LITTLE TOWN


WHERE [E] ED SINGS SONGS FOR MR [A] BROWN




IN A LITTLE GARDEN IN THE SUMMER SUN


THEY SIT AND TALK AND SING THEIR SONGS




AND THEIR [D] WIVES ARE HAPPY TO SEE THE FRIENDS


AS THEY [E] CHAT ACROSS THE GARDEN [A] FENCE




ED HAS A SON, BROWN HAS ONE TOO


AND THEY PLAY TOGETHER, AS CHILDREN DO




NOW [D] ED LIKES HIS HOME THAT IS SO SMALL


HE STILL [E] BANGS HIS HEAD AS HE WALKS THROUGH THE [A] DOOR




AND [D] BROWN IS SETTLED WITH HIS WIFE AND CHILD


AND HIS [E] FRIEND NEXT DOOR IN THE LITTLE [A] TOWN

Re: a small story

Hey Phill - Nice little song there. I like the real life fairy tale feel of it.

Re: a small story

Well done Phill. Sounds like a really fun song to play.

Live in the "now" - a contentment of the moment - the past is gone - the future doesn't exist - all we ever really have is now and it's always "now".

A great little song Phill

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

thanks pete

Re: a small story

This just proves my point that poem's are song's! Any poem can be made into a song if you have a melody to go with it!

A musician is someone with too much time on their hands! Thank god I'm a musician!!!

Thanks for sharing! TIGLJK  JIM
