We Are the Better Pretenders
Poem (audio)
Hey Chrissy, please...
“Don’t Get Me Wrong”
I plead, like in your song
but ... there are better Pretenders
than you and your Chain Gang band
You’re great contenders
But we pretend better
We rock it out harder
We’re head deep in the fantasy
way far gone
more gone than your city, Cleveland
We’re beyond Neverland
in constant cosplay
Content as a clam
living and thriving
in the sham
Inspiration of this poem came partly after listening to The Pretenders, the band:
“Don’t Get Me Wrong” by The Pretenders
“My City Was Gone” (Live from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame")
So good! Btw…Have you thought of doing whole book readings/recordings? Or voice acting?
"My City Was Gone" is a brilliant song.
