Put a little funky music to a poem by Richard Leach. From his book “At this Time” – http://www.lulu.com/us/en/shop/richard-leach/at-this-time/paperback/product-23494265.html
Trouble (2017)
There’s trouble when you sit and trouble when you stand
trouble with your ostrich and trouble with your sand
There’s trouble when you’re tight and trouble when you’re loose
trouble with your gander and trouble with your goose
There’s trouble with your pride and trouble with your shame
trouble with your albatross and trouble with your blame
There’s trouble with your hook and trouble with your bait
trouble with your freedom and trouble with your fate
There’s trouble with your gremlins and trouble with your gods
trouble with your evens and trouble with your odds
There’s trouble with your symbol and trouble with your sign
trouble with your water and trouble with your wine
There’s trouble with your humbug and trouble with your bah
trouble with your do re mi, trouble with your fa
There’s trouble with your January, trouble with your June
trouble with your later and trouble with your soon
There’s trouble on the ground and trouble in the air
you know what I’m saying next – I think there’s trouble everywhere
