BREAKFAST POEM
(wrote this back in ’95 and dedicated it to the late
Deirdre O’Donahue, then hostess of “Breakfast with the Beatles,”
whom I listened to on Sundays. She read it on the air and had some
nice things to say about it, which was a big thrill for me. RIP).
The mostest Magical Mystery Tour…
John, Paul, George, Ringo.
-Love, love me do,
you know I love you…
Cycles & stars,
alignment of planets,
convergence of ideas,
the Muse of Creativity’s
coitus non-interruptus,
the molecular structure
of Lucy in the Sky,
see how they fly…
-Once there was a way,
to get back home,
once there was a way…
Would you believe
there are still people
who refuse to acknowledge
we all live
in a Yellow Submarine?
-Full speed ahead, Mr. Crawford,
full speed ahead…
Beatles music forever,
Across the Universe!
