Virtual Reality???
By: Denise James
- He carried the old case carefully,
- on it he kept a tight grip.
- For he knew with his special guitar,
- it would be a long trip.
- Armed only with his thoughts,
- and his old case,
- Blair grabbed his keys,
- and left Jim's place.
- He parked his car,
- and crossed the street.
- His feet keeping the rhythm
- of his mental beat.
- As he walked on stage,
- the crowd let out a roar.
- The kid played here often,
- so they knew what was in store.
- He seldom received,
- a boo or a hiss.
- And there was always a fan,
- willing to blow him a kiss.
- How many were there,
- it was hard to tell.
- And as he opened his case,
- they began to yell.
- Fans were there,
- from across the nation.
- They took his mind away
- from his Sentinel Dissertation.
- His body swayed,
- with every lick.
- The strings vibrated,
- beneath his pick.
- With his music,
- he sat the groove.
- For the fans in the audience,
- who wanted to move.
- The crowd cheered loudly,
- as he sang and played.
- He smiled as the girls up front screamed,
- while to the music their bodies swayed.
- Blair couldn't believe this.
- It was all so unreal.
- Then someone shaking his body,
- he was sure he could feel.
- Jim stood over him,
- offering a gentle prod and a poke.
- Thats all it took,
- before Blair awoke.
- Sitting straight up,
- and rubbing the sleep from each eye.
- There on the pillow,
- he saw the pick lie.
- "Get up. Get dressed Cheif."
- Was all that Jim had said.
- So with one quick glance at the pick,
- he hopped out of bed.
- Maybe it wasn't something,
- he had merely dreamed.
- Maybe it was more of a reality,
- than it had really seemed.
A NOTE FROM DENISE....
- As I lay this morning in my bed,
- Dr. Seuss began to chant in my head.
- I knew it was something
- I wanted to write down
- so I hopped out of bed
- and untangled my night gown.
- Around the house
- I searched in a hurry,
- I found a pen and some paper
- and I wrote with fury.
- To get this poem down
- before it was lost.
- It was something I would avoid,
- at all costs.
- I blame it on the episode,
- The Girl Next Door.
- You've read the poem,
- need I say more???
- I know this may sound,
- a bit obscure.
- But for this rhyming,
- I need a cure.
- I'm afraid if I don't get it,
- It will be just a matter of time,
- until my next story,
- is written in rhyme.
- So if you could please help me,
- get Seuss out of my brain.
- You would be my Blessed Protector,
- and keep me from going insane.
- Please don't think of me
- as being obsessed.
- I am just a tired fan,
- in need of some rest.
