Pyrotechnic Geriatric - Fishboy

In my younger days

I was in a power trio

I was the drummer of a primo local band

We were bound for fame

Oh, I could feel it in the demos

So I go and buy a limo

Cash in hand

I was out of luck

When the band broke up

Oh man!

Now my beard is grey

But I can play a decent solo

I haven’t tried it since a year ago last May

In my practice space

I wipe a cymbal down with sterno

Just a tiny little pyrotechnical display

The stand fell the ground

And the lot burned down

Okay!

And here is my advice:

Patience may be nice

But wisdom don’t always come with age
