Question: Are you a flat or sharp type of person when you sing!?
Sandpaper to the Ears, to Some!
'Must we always sing in tune,
What’s wrong with some sharps!?
And speaking of…how can you tell!?
For some, pure melody, rightly sung!.'
Anon!
Listen they say to hear the pitch!.
“Follow now with your voice…do
re mi…” Aint working!. “fa so…flattt!”
“Pay attention and repeat…do re mi!.”
Yeah, do re mi! Are you sure the piano’s
tuned!? Sounds somewhat flat to me!
“Pay attention and behave yourself,
do re mi!.” That’s it, I’m outta here!
Never did get that perfect pitch,
and in a way I really don’t care!.
Only so many Barbaras, and Franks!.
You know you gotta know your limits!
But nowadays I am really enjoying
those pew singers that turn heads!.
Funny though, turned heads wincing
like sandpaper to the ears, I guess
At least to some, in tune to me!
Care to join me in a song!?

I'll join you, but I certainly don't have much of a singing voice!. You know your pretty bad when your four year old starts screaming: " 'top it!.!.!.I don' like it " I just inform him that telling someone to stop singing is like asking them to stop laughing or breathing and then I sing on!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Besides being the martini Diva , I am a closet - karaoke junkie!. This poem certainly rang true to me!. Of course, after a few martinis, I sound just like Shirley Bassey, hehehe, at least to me!Www@QuestionHome@Com
