Apologetica

Jacques Maurice 1958 (New Orleans)



I apologize
For making half rhymes
It's a habit I can't break no matter how I tries

Hope you pardon me
When you hear me sing
Like a scratchy vinyl record or a gagging geek

I'm so sorry for
How I play guitar
Got no rhythm when I strum and fingers fumble chords

All apologies
For my deficiencies
Please excuse me while I flush my latest master-piece
