Ballads, music with so many stories to tell

Some with a villain you wan to roast in hell.

Some with hometown heroes insuring our freedom

Some reminding us where our solid values come from.

Some ballads are scored with old family folklore

Certain lyrics so sweet you can’t help but want more.

Romantic tryst ballads sung, for both good and bad

Those tales of love lost will always be sung so sad

The ballads in music that always set them apart

Hear the lyrics and it always touches your heart.

Some sounds can always ring in your head

Just maybe a new story you have just read

Sirens filling the air and sounding the alarm

Loud warning shouts to save you from harm

You awake from a nudge from the alarm clock

Unmistakable, the grandfather clock tick tock

A baby’s hungry cry, and time for baby to eat

The background drums, now you have the beat

Choir music done right to help you pray and rejoice

The sound you must hear is your wife’s sweet voice.

You recite the daily porcelain prayer

Sometimes without a moment to spare

There are times the pressure has grown

You repeat the prayer sitting on the throne

We are thankful that function works as it should

Who says that Porcelain Prayer, I certainly would

This verse wants to add much to what you know.

Bringing new meaning  to those words, “on the go”

Thinking about squatting on the pot

Squeezing and giving it all you got

Finishing with one last big push

Now remember to wipe your tush

You close your eyes and bow your head

Revisiting the thoughts that have been said.

Weighing what to remember and what to forget

Looking again, have all expectations been met.

Truth and fiction sometimes told ever so close.

Lies have you shaking from your head to your toes.

Some words you hear you absolutely hate

Some words have wisdom beyond debate

Some questions will keep you up all night.

Keep must questioning until you get it right.

Some teens can’t wait to kiss those years adieu

Some kids grow up and others never do

Will those kids dumb moves ever end??

Mature common sense, don’t have to pretend

Chasing girls when you don’t have any chance

Taking your time and as you learn about romance

Showing off and speeding, not always a smart move

Maybe growing up is knowing how you can improve

You can be very stupid and think you are a smart ass

Better, grow up, show maturity, now you are first class

Being right can often earn you some respect

But only if your answers are always correct.

Be wrong and learn, now you learn and improve

Being right and not bragging, always a good move

Some without a clue, always think they are right

A little fact checking shows they’re not too bright

Wonderful to have questions you can answer like a pro

Read, study, learn and you can be proud of what you know
