A band in Nantucket, by Tyler Steven Clark

A band in Nantucket

There once was a man from Nantucket

Who sat out and played on his bucket

He was joined by a singer from Maine

Who’s blues so sweet, would make it rain

Together they’d play, nearly everyday

Until the flooded townsfolk chased them away

Life’s like a puzzle With pieces thrown all about You have to put it together Until the pieces run all out Sometimes it’s finished

I put a saddle on a whale I traveled faster than all could s… I can’t return home though I’ve been stranded on rocks Since people get angry

His colors would not Follow lines A mangled mess The teacher finds “This papers all scribbles

I climbed up a tree once Just to look out I sat and I watched As a bird flew about I looked down to notice

There was a man With the largest of eyes They said he could see For miles wide A job as a lookout

Never go to the circus You wont return the same My image is ruined and a tent is to blame I entered fit

The ruler sat upon his thrown His thrown of sand to all was know… His castle was feared far and wide As the strongest fortress near ocean side

In the streets lived a musician Who played with no beat he did not even know how to read from a sheet he’d strum his fiddle

he came in guns waving “everyone get down” but when they all started dancing he left with just a frown

Peter piper picked a pot of hasenpfeffer Drank it down, took another round It couldn’t get any better Peter went back to the market

Have you ever wondered How the clouds move along If you believe its the wind I’ll tell you that your wrong I sit behind these clouds

I gathered up my feelings and put them in a box I hid it in my attic and sealed it with a lock since then my girl left me

Large heels Small meals The life of an actress Long scripts Thin hips

If I was a ghost for a day There’s so much I would do Like fill the sinks with orange ju… And take everyone’s left shoe Id paint pink polka dots

They say if you shoot for the moon… You’ll just end up in the stars... But if stars are just burning gas The chances are you won’t get far.…
