Amusing the Muse

Think of the songs on the airwaves today,

The street corner lyrics, the music they play.

Do you think that the muse would be slightly amused

Or highly insulted?  Just what would she say?

 

The things we now think of as oldies were once

Just as wicked and frantic and wild in their way.

But now they're nostalgic, recalling a memory,

A moment, a scene from a happier day.

 

Let's not be dramatic, not too critical,

Not bitter to act or express to accuse.

Our music once spent its' due time on the treadmill

Growing up slowly amusing the muse.
