Jonathan Caswell is a great blogger and reblogger. Thanks to his reblogs, I have met so many bloggers, and gained a few followers as well. Out of eternal gratitude I am giving back with this one, which I like to think was somewhat inspired by me!
VERY INSTRUMENTAL–“FRANKENSTEIN”
The Rock D.J. needed a break,
For her, a piece of cake…
Put on “FRANKENSTEIN,”**
Which runs a long time
But she still has to stay awake!
–
Pioneers of the synthesizer,
Edgar Winter was a surprizer…
Strapped on the thing
Like a guitar to swing,
And the rest of the world was wiser.
–
In nineteen seventy-two,
“FRANKENSTEIN” punched its way through…
Music pioneering
We’re glad for hearing,
And helps out the D.J., too!

One of my better, if I do say so myself! 🙂
I quite agree
Thank you kindly!
He IS the Mighty Mumford…:)
That he is!
AH….THE MIGHTY MUMFORD…which isn’t as “mighty” as the blog….is but a river…that starts in the cedar swamps of Central Massachusetts/Northern Rhode Island, in the U.S….!
A little bit of background! Most decidedly not the band!
Wouldn’t that be MUMFORD & SON…? 🙂
Right. I guess it’s just the name that spurs the connection regardless.
It relates back to an unofficial school anthem my Dad told me about—he grew up in Douglas, MA: “Hail, hail Douglas, where the mighty Mumford flows…You know that you are near it if you have to hold your nose!!!” This was while the woolen mills were still running and they used the Mumford River like an open industrial sewer! Not cleaned up and most of the mills have been put to other uses…like today. 🙂
Oh, that’s a pretty cool story. Also funny because I know a lot of your poetry talks about foul smells!
