There’s degrees of

songs & singers–

so much, I’ll make a list,

when we’re through

let’s both review

& see what I have missed.

There are those that need

~enhancement~

* auto-tune *

& helping hands,

there are those that

bleed song writers

back-up singers

& their band,

there are those that

feed on scandal

freaky clothes

to scream I’m glam,

& those with

stupid handles

geeky pose

& marriage plans

there are those who

make good money

putting Phony

next to Gram

and those that

belt out covers

of another

band with fans…

But sometimes

there are singers

–be it fella, be it dam–

who sing it acapella

And to them

I give this hand.

Since like a writer

~writing~

acapella is pure voice

no falderal

to song at all

but words!

(My tune of choice)
