I’ve started something I’ve long meant to do
And that’s setting to music some sonnets
I don’t have to write them specially, for you
Know I have thirteen hundred just like this
Although admittedly they won’t be hits!
Not in this dull commercial world they won’t
It should make a change from the way lyrics
Are often written; often, they just don’t
Say much at all, and I don’t see the point
Of that, or of repeating radio
Favourites from childhood, those old favourites
Themselves repeating themes from juke box joints
Of decades before, or from World War Two
Dancefloors. No-one’s danced to a sonnet… yet
