Karaoke

 

Matt tries karaoke for the first time

In a pub surrounded by a small crowd

Of pub-goers.  He tries not to sing loud,

For people might think his voice is a crime.

Every other line he sings is a rhyme.

Matt's confidence picks up, he's singing proud.

Is his voice good?  Is his head in a cloud?

As Matt sings brave, someone throws him a dime,

Some appreciation, he's doing well,

Maybe he's better at this than he thought.

He's having a good time, he's feeling swell,

The song ends, the crowd claps, they have been bought.

First time at karaoke, can't they tell?

Matt has a great voice which cannot be taught.
