- I'm linked with Rosemary who for our prompt wanted up to six short poems from us. -
- After reading some from a new Paul McCartney auto bio two volume new book I worked on a short six line. But then instead I modified it and finished with what you see.
- The two-volume book, just out, is,
"Paul McCartney
The Lyrics
1956 to the Present".
The volumes contain the lyrics to every song he has written with its background and pictures.

I enjoyed your repetitive sing-song piece. (And the prompted short poems were optional; one longer is just fine.)
You could almost set this to music, Jim!
I like this! It made me think back on what my mother taught me in regards to keeping a man! Actually, she never spoke of anything I "should" do. I guess that's to her credit, and surprising, as she was born in 1919 and "keeping her man" would have been any woman's goal!
I've read the way to a man's hear is through his stomach 😊
Nice one Jim
Much💜love
....and hereion lie the secrets to keeping Mr.Jim a happy man! Works for most men, I'd guess. Thanks for passing Mom's lesson along!
I haven't asked Mrs. Jim about these things but she has been doing well for almost 49 years. Her mom was swell and a good mother, she died in 2007.
..
yes sir, the poem can be set to music.
Mother knows best and teaches some of life's finest lessons.
Wow, this is great! I love the way you've handled the repetition. I find myself tapping a foot as I read and nodding yes, yes, yes!
Sage advice, Jim
Agree with all the comments that you can make music out of this. But I taught myself everything because I had no parents just a foster mother who made me work a lot in their house after she took me out of the childerenhome earlier. And I want to forget very much that time.
