Pop goes the Poem
The musty smell of old books and wood shelves
Remained in Daniel's nostrils as he left the book store.
Until he had the first edition of the Tony Cycle
The only thing he could do was pace the proverbial floor.
How was it that there was no pop song being made
Of "The Horseshoe Crab?" Had he dreamed it all?
Reciting the poem over and over, Daniel played
Diverse scenarios of what might have happened. A fall
At a concert in Asia to the group's piano player?
Right thumb of the bass player injured in Rome.
Laughable ideas to say the least. No. It had to be grayer.
If the band had somehow gotten an edition sans the poem.
Now that had promise. And soon he would know.
Get the right edition to the band at their next show.
