Raindrops on noses and newly boiled kettles
some words of kindness to strengthen your mettle
brown paper packages what good are they?
When plastic bags are convenient today
Crumpets for breakfast and pizza for dinner
some folk suggest l am not getting thinner
wild dreams that fly from east to west
yet friends tell me that I am so blessed
When the cold bites or the phone rings
When I ache so bad
I simply reach for the empty wine glass
and fill it up... a tad

| Writing Prompt |
Take a well-known song and replace the original rhyming lyrics with your own. Rhyming is required, the original meter should be preserved, but no other restrictions apply.
However, to avoid copyright infringement, create a new, similar, title which unmistakably references the original.
For example: On The Street Where You Live might become On The Road Where You Dwell or Jailhouse Rock might become Prison Jive. |
