In the early adult years every Saturday <br />He would listen to opera <br /> <br />Then came rock and roll <br />Which he would defend <br />Before it became accepted <br /> <br />There was the evening <br />His daughter sang ‘Ave Maria’ <br />Did it well for him and <br />Everyone else in the church <br /> <br />Eventually there was the carolyn <br />That filled the valley with music <br />Which he purchased with a slush fund <br />Built by melting scrap in the back yard <br />Not a bad record for a man who never wrote a note.<br /><br />Bill Grace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-man-who-loved-music/
