Yesterday

 

Yesterday

“Imagine” that...
Oops!

I mean “Yesterday”
I heard that the person who
discovered Paul McCartney was
born thirty five years after he was.

I believe you would
have to travel
“Across the Universe”
and warp time
to make
a discovery like that.

“In My Life”
I have never heard of such a thing.

If I were a musician that could make this claim
I would cut a record album dedicated to
time travel and worm holes.

What’s that I hear?
Ring aling aling!!!
of the rotary phone?

“Let It Be” my literary agent!

I will then sit down at my
typewriter
for the final chapter of this
outlandish “Magical Mystery Tour.”

“Help” me long at last to
become the “Paperback Writer”
I have always wanted to be

lest I live an obscure
life on a park bench near
“Strawberry Fields Forever”
under a newsprint that reads;

“Welcome to the newest member of
“Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”
Born in 1977 he is best known for discovering
“Abbey Road.””
