OK have a headache now. Can’t think so I am posting this one that has been in development over the last few days. Needs more work I know. And it frivolous. Who can spot the song its a play on?
Same
By Scott Bailey © 2013
Remember this forever
For it will set you free
Listen to you mother on
How it is to be,
If you want success my child
Stay upon the path
Don’t stray into the wild.
Be the same! Be the same.
All the world – loves the same.
Stand up tall, play it straight
And you’ll never end up late.
With mortarboard and diploma
You’ll rate with the great minds
If you become a doctor you’ll win great respect
Be a great composer and get more of it yet
Don’t become a poet that they will all forget
Be the same, be the same, be the same.
Be the same, be the same,
All the world – loves the same.
Tell it straight, tell it true,
No one will mess with you.
Bend the rules (when you can)
Make more profit for the man
A college education is a must I am sure
To give the frame of reference that you must endure
If you feel lost a job is the cure!
Be the same! Be the same! Be the same

I remembered what it was called! You can delete my first comment (and this one) if you like! Sorry, comment overload!

Is it Be a Clown, by Cole Porter? There’s another song that is basically the same tune called Make ‘Em Laugh (I think, but I may be totally confused!).

Yep – that’s it. The poem is almost opposite of what the song is saying.

Very nice rhythm to this piece. Sorry, I have no idea what the song is.

I’ll leave you guessing for a bit – I think there are some of my friends out there who will see it.
