Johnny Cash

#1 in my Musical Greats Series.

Hey Porter

have you seen

The Matador

he ran circles round

The Bull Rider

out by

The Chattanooga City Limit Sign

and made him

Cry Cry Cry

cause he

Hurt.

 

And then

A Boy Named Sue

ridin in

The General Lee

said to the Matador

Get Rhythm

cause

The Man Comes Around

with a great

Ring Of Fire.

 

Yes

The Man in Black

comes back from

Folsum Prision Blues

after bein stuck in a

Rusty Cage

and spendin 10 to 20

Walkin the Line

all cause he

Gave His Love To Rose.

 

So Matador

If I Was A Carpenter

I'd build for you a

Rusty Cage

to spend your days in lamenting

The Ballad of Ira Hayes

better known as

The Bull Rider.

 

Now the Matador

He hung His Head

cause the Bull Rider

was just a

Long Legged Guitar Pickin Man

better know as

Johnny Cash.

Now that was really good!!! I don't care what anyone says. I laughed when I read the lines.....

"And then

The General Lee

said to the Matador

Get Rhythm

cause

The Man Comes Around

with a great

Ring Of Fire."

Thanks for the great thought of ol Johnny.

Everyone loves the man in black!! That was very creative I will have to say. I would never have thought to write a poem from his song titles. CynRick

Well i prefer the Walk Hard film....Johnny Cash was too troubled for me.

[Phill Oz O'fee]

A creative and commemorative tribute to the man in black. He is greatly missed (but never forgotten).

A beautiful share!

Oh wow what a superb and fun tribute to one of my favorite singers of all time... when i was six and others listen too Puff the Magic Dragon I was listening to Folsom Prison Blues and let me just say your poem about the man in black is a great ring of fire. You deserve a round of applause for this.
