Just me and Joan Baez
Joan Baez
So you found me out
The lying oaf that I am
And you went berserk
So you said these words
“You’re a duplicitous swine”
And so much more too
You were pretty hurt
Well I can’t quibble with that
Your tears flowed freely
I’ll have to go to
Joan Baez’s concert alone
Her songs will suit me
Note: I managed to attend Joan Baez's first Australian concert for 20 years in Adelaide this week. What a great nostalgia trip. (P.S. I was not alone.)
Great poetry.I hope you didn't have to attend alone but it must have been a fun concert.
ReplyDeleteThis is clearly a work of fiction, since you would never be a duplicitous swine. But I hope you had a good time at the concert!
ReplyDeleteExcellent way to relax after all that quibbling, name calling crying and going berserk!! ;) You have created an amazing poetry here with those three words!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got to see her... I bet it was a good concert.
ReplyDeleteGlad you didn't go alone. What I wouldn't give to hear her sing "Diamonds and Rust," and of course, "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," which is a field day for political parody folks like me!
ReplyDelete"Duplicitous swine"? Methinks you incapable of that type of insincerity, honey. Amy
