“O sweet musician
Lead me not into perdition
For the lay
You play
Has carried many a man away.
Your tune
‘Tis over soon
And those who do you adore
Are left wanting more.
The beat
Of your feet
Has led many a man astray.
The song you play
Leaves men weak
And unable to speak
Save in grunt and moan.
We men can not leave it alone.
Though the wise amongst us know
That there is no rest
To be found on the breast
Of the musician who will play
A sweet lay
For a damned soul’s pay.
A wonderful poem, Kevin.
Thank you, Robbie. Kevin
