Concert

The classic rock band
on the concert stage
looks down upon you
holding up their one great album
in the front row
for an entire hour and a half
and says

it’s like the old days
but nothing like the old days

(or two of them do,
the two original members, 
the rest being hired guns
who look at you and say

shame i’m not getting royalties from this gig

and proceed to rock out
with the clock out
figuring dollars earned 
by notes played)

And what do you say?
You say

EEEEEYEAH!!!!!

and 

WOOOOOOOOOO!

and are thus
entertained
well and fully
and are convinced
and are sated
and can go home
rejuvenated

well

a little
