6th June 2023 Songwriters of the World Unite

Hosted by Chris Martin

​ “Songwriters of the World Unite”
 
So here we are the songwriters of the World
Coming from every neighbourhood 
Singing about anything that takes our fancy
Be it cityscapes or be it the deep dark wood
 
So here we are songwriters of renown
Performing with our customary aplomb
Singing about the world and its wife
Until they decide to drop the big bomb
 
So we look to the songwriters and their art
Playing anywhere that we think they might dig us
Whether we sing about plain old meat and two veg
Or something artfully cooked with buttered asparagus 
 
So we think we’re so creative, songwriters of the locale
Peddling our various tunes to anyone with ears
Playing to haughty consumers of any fancy cocktails
Or just some ruffians sinking a few beers . . .
 
Jason, poet, June 2023
