Track #7

Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
Fast, short, loud!

Brothers from different mothers,
stopped us lying in bed.

Leather for the CBGB stage,
smiles sneaking through hair.

“Hurry, hurry, hurry” was a recurring theme for The Ramones, with everyone else having to catch up.
Bringing back memories of “lyin in bed”, listening to radio so no one can hear.
Not interested in history, but no fools either!

🎸 This is part of a series of music-themed poems published in Music Voices. Ask me for a word to define in 25 words or less… just add a comment.
