Pop That Illusion Bubble

I like country and pop music along with rock and other genres... this is just a metaphorical melody.

In a country song

The princess would arrive

In a pickup truck

Dressed in jeans and boots,

Ready to get down and dirty with chores

While the man who loves her

Is working by her side,

Before raising the roof

At the local watering hole.

 

But when you pop it up the princess

Is prim and proper,

Covered in glitz and glitter

As she is whisked away

By her prince charming

To live happily ever after

In a glamorous existence.

 

Many think that country

Is not the better life,

Disillusioned to the fact

That pop is based on a lie.

Ah, the genres of music to poetical visions :) And in metal it would be another story again...really cool, like this :)

Thank you dear Poppy.

I am sooooo into this comparison! I love the naturalness of country & hate the glitz of pop. You've managed to do this in a politically correct way, critiquing the music genre instead of blasting the actual cast of characters involved, but we all know the meaning goes deeper than music! *wink! wink!* I really like the line: "when you pop it up" which (combined with the next line) makes for good alliteration.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Well thank you very much... glad you appreciated the comparison to make my point.

All that glitter is not gold and all that glam is not happily ever after. Country life, real life, suburban wife… all more real and more to be treasured than the greatest wealth. :D

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

I couldn't have said it better myself... thank you.

YVW :D

Everything is glamourised today; but then, everyone likes a fairy tale; the trick is to know and understand the difference.

Clever write.

Only you could get the theme of 'Green Acres" stuck in my head when reading a poem , good bye city life! :p

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

That is funny... Add that to a list of my talents, LOL
Thank you.

[Corset]

will do but I may have to buy a paper factory to make room for it on the list :)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

You are much too sweet :)

[Corset]

I know, but i wont try to rub it in ,,,HA!!!!

A very clever little analogy here. The popular version of reality is most definitely a fairy tale.

You got it... thank you very much.
