Tom Petty made a great big deal, <br /> about not selling out, <br /> BUT, type his name on-line today, <br /> to see what he's about. <br /> <br /> I hope that it's not really Tom, <br /> this life long fan paid many bucks, <br /> to buy the missing disc today, <br /> ... just to feel wronged! <br /> <br /> (Yes, I could have made that rhyme!) . <br /> <br /> The last D.J. won't let me play, <br /> the music that I bought, <br /> ... unless I register to be a number, <br /> ... don't count on this one bending over. <br /> <br /> After Neil Young - - - <br /> I guess everyone, decided on the money, <br /> and allowed their tunes to be abused, <br /> ... to sell everything, to hell and back, <br /> but, I was proud that one held out, <br /> ... and now, I feel sold as well. <br /> <br /> So, maybe you can see, <br /> that it wasn't good for me, <br /> - - - to save for weeks, <br /> - - - to still believe, <br /> and to end up getting nothing, <br /> except a rotten, petty, feeling.<br /><br />Barry Van Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/petty-crimes/
