Seeking Music


Higher gas cost
brings you back

Like that mix-up
when we set out

To drive up to
Michigan for

Summer music
at Interlochen

New Interstates
challenged us

Many wrong turns
and backtracking

Made sightseeing
a costly pleasure

Using gas gallons
not in our budget

Today we would
stay at home and

And bring it in by
FM satellite radio


F William Broome 2008

:)) Yes indeed... My mother always guarded her ring-side seat while the rest of us queued, struggled, couldn't see, missed it... whatever. A bandstand experience for a fraction of the time and cost... sounds good economy to me... as well as more comfortable! Ed note: penultimate couplet enjambs with the next... two "and"s?? Good social document and comment, William. TY Kate xx

Yes, Bill, at least we still have the radio. But there's
something unrecoverable in those wrong turns and backtracking.
Enjoyed the poem. -gene.
