He is a country boy at heart, <br /> and he goes way out of his way, <br /> to hate some music... <br /> <br /> I think that he's afraid, <br /> that he might like it, <br /> if he gave himself a half - a - chance. <br /> <br /> He is so busy saying ' No ', <br /> and keeping his ears closed, <br /> for fear his mind might open up, <br /> and find a different thought. <br /> <br /> Open minds are scarey, <br /> 'cause you don't know what you'll find, <br /> that isn't ' Rock -N - Roll ', <br /> ... inside that mind. <br /> <br /> It all involves a risk, <br /> perhaps, your not prepared to take, <br /> I know exactly how that feels, <br /> nothing ventured... as they say. <br /> <br /> I am a country boy at heart, <br /> who grew up on ' Rock -N - Roll ', <br /> I've loved the timeless classics and <br /> I've loved the Blues, <br /> <br /> All have given me their thoughts, <br /> their smiles and their tears, <br /> some rejected, most collected, <br /> but, all music will be welcomed, <br /> ... by these ears. <br /> <br /> We have these tiny little openings, <br /> that have these tiny little bones, <br /> that allow some tiny little notes inside, <br /> some VERY tiny homes.<br /><br />Barry Van Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tiny-little-openings/
