These hands have played
The piano of John Lennon
These ears have heard
The dulcet tones of Garland.
I hope my fingers wear
That my ears hear
A little of their magic.
We still sing
Over the Rainbow
People sit still
In the circles of
Imagine Dragons.
How they left us
Assassination
Alcoholism tragic!
Our lives are brighter
From their artistic
Contributions
On the corner of
Seventy second street
Edge of Central Park.
Where Rosemarys Baby
Was filmed, Yoko’s
Place that was all
Lit up, it’s now dark!
