35). Transcribe

modern poetry

You're not in a.m. dream;
You're real;
Create something better;
Then sing both;
The song cycle and the artist,
Twenty-first century;
The good side about the joke,
Is being able to transcribe it as is;
Is that it copies elements and changes them before you do.
You have the same chance at any song.
So, it's about him;
People don't drag you to that conclusion.
Take off with a poetry student, what do you think?
Hear all the latest songs or read them,
That's adding in twice.
The music school reads that way once without it.
