A poem I wrote on the train in the morning in the rain. This afternoon at home I sat down and did It on my piano with my cell phone. . I have put it on soundcloud link below. If anyone with better playing and more skills than me wants to improve on it., I would be very happy for them to do that
A is the bassline with the trebble playing E G A then D G with a F sharp and G alternating through out the tune. My voice not that great as usual.

Working Man And Woman.
Their all leaving home trying to catch a train or bus.
It's a wet and windy day
It ill take lot more than that to stop most of us.
We got to raise our kids.
We got to pay the bills.
We got to pay for our life up up here in the hills.
Such is the lot of the working man and wife.
We spend half our life working trying to find time for the kids.
Trying to get enough money seems to take more time than it should.
We head of to the city on the bus or train no matter what the weather.
It could be rain.
It could be shining.
We could be experiencing pain.
But we keep on striving.
Such is the life of a working man and working woman trying to keep the family going.
Yeah trying to keep a family going.
Yeah trying to pay for a roof over our heads.
Yeah we need a bit more time to spend with the kids.
But we got to pay the bills and keep our self respect.
Yeah such is the life of a working man and a woman.
Yeah such is the life of a working man and a woman.
Yeah got to pay the bills some how.
Love that kid's playing style.
I love your guitar picking on this song. You get the song across real good. It is a real good song.
Another excellent song. I have been retired for a while now the other week I had this vivid dream I was late for work and I woke up jumped out of bed. I was in a bit of a panic thinking I better ring and let them know I am running late. My wife woke up and said are you alright when it hit me I don't work there any more. .That little bit of a bass vocal worked brilliant in your song I love whole arrangement.
Phill I love it. It is witty and even though you say it is nonesense it does tell the story of a scammer. Reading the word dosh made me remember my old man as a kid saying to me
" as long as a man has enough dosh after feeding the family and paying the bills for a pigs ear (Beeer) and a dury he has done alright."
That is a brilliant piece of poetry to a beautiful daughter on her birthday. As you say in your poem she is a pearl..
Thank you CG for your feedback
Bill great to have you comment and see you active here on chordie again. I am enjoying your posts on here.
Hugs to you and your beautiful Dondra.
Pete
TF and Phill thank you for your comments and taking time to have a read of my poem.
Jeff great to hear you on soundcloud again. It is a good song.
Rapid Fire
The vexation of a fool is known at once.
When it is prudent to ignore insult
Words used in haste flowing like rapid gunfire.
Bullets flowing of the end of the tongue, boomerangs aimlessly going in circles.
A boomerang powered by an arm out of control and governed by a reaction of the knee instead of the head.
Bullets circling back full of regret to the one who fired without deep thought about a consequence caused by the lack of a pause.
Machine gun fire killing more than once the same victim.
Nice guitar and the lyrics remind me of some of the things I have heard people say to me at the end of their lives.
Jeff you know how to write an excellent song. Hope we can get to hear it soon.
Thank you Easybeat hopefully I have writen this in a way that people listening can understand or put something of their own experience or observation of family life into it.
Cheers Phill I recorded it with no microphones just on my cell phone placed next to the piano.. I would be honoured and completly thrilled if you gave it a go. Thank you for giving me a listen and feed back.
On that stage is musical heaven all of them fantastic musicians,
Unfortunately when I play piano or guitar it is all done by feel. I would put this in as a song if I had the know how.. I have tried to make it work as a song but my bad piano playing and singing get in the way. I put it up on soundcloud in the hope oneday someone might have a go at making it into better song.

Long As Your Happy
I can remember seeing the rain on the window pane
One summer many years ago.
Were waiting to go out.
You all dressed up nice in your best dress.
You couldn't wait to get out.
Next thing I noticed you had gone outside the door.
Your running in the yard completly wet.
Your best dress was a mess as youd fallen in the mud.
And your hair was a bit of a mess.
Your mother was unhappy.
Why did you let her go out.
All I could say was this.
As long as she's happy.
As long as your happy.
I couldn't care less.
I couldn't care less about that dress.
When I saw you smiling at me.
As long as your happy.
As long as your happy I couldn't care less.
I wouldn't worry if your hair was in a mess.
All I worry about is your beautiful smile.
And I wouldn't worry to much about the mess
As long as your happy.
As your happy.
As long as your happy
I don't give a damn about the mess.
Saturday morning just waiting for the rain to clear and my mind to clear also, so that I can figure out some better way of doing a song I have writen.
When I thought about this clip I had seen on youtube which I think is a brilliant look at songwriting.

A great moving on song you have written with nice country chords, I look forward to hearing it.
I look forward to hearing the recording.
Thank you Jim first time I have seen that one with Robert F Kennedy a powerful video. Your students have a good teacher in you. what you teach I am sure will have positive impacts on their thoughts and future life. Her is a song about the Kennedys by a local Kiwi lass.

Does me not liking some sorts of music qualify for hate speech?

I have the greatest respect and admiration for Chris Thile as a musician but I think him trying to host a show to the same level that Garrison Keillor has achieved would be imposible for anyone. A Prairie Home Companion was a show I loved when Garrison was doing it , once Chris took over it didn't work the same for me. I haven't seen the film of the show but it is now on my list of films to watch eventually.
