Forever 27



He followed the sound of a bluesy tune
Which led him away to a secluded room
He looks in wonder at what he sees
It's Janis Joplin playin the keys

The next thing he noticed was a guitar chord
Who came from Jimi Hendrix sittin on the floor
He fell short of breath in disbelief
Then he saw Jim Morrison give a sigh of relief

Jim said "Hey my friend what is your name?"
He replied in a raspy voice "Why it's Kurt Kobain"
"Well Kurt we've waited far too long
With you here now we can finish our song"

Kurt walked in with a confused look on his face
Then said "Hey Jim, what is this place"
Jim said "My boy, this is our own heaven
Where we will always remain forever twenty seven
