Mercy! Mercy!

        "Object to be Destroyed" by Man Ray





I'm a beat-keeper still in my prime.
Destroying me would be a crime!
Here'e a much better way
to honour Man Ray -
Call me "Keeping One Eye on the Time."









Tess urges us to "Keep up with the band, you lot" with her prompt for Mag 146.

    Haha! I heard that a metronome was a tiny Frenchman who lurks in Paris subways.

    Enjoyed the limerick. How are you with G B Shaw's plays?

    It seems so senseless to destroy these! Crazy artists.

    Thinks:- Alternative way to give a good ticking off to those out to destroy?! Almost sounds like a crossword clue, don't you think? Maybe too cryptic, though...

      Without the picture I think it would be somewhat overcryptic.

      Why indeed? The music they play is a more musical and less boring than much contemporary pop/rock/grunge/punk etc.

Thank you for stopping by. To make life easier for you I have turned off the new indecipherable and time-wasting verification words. Would you care to "feedback" to Blogger and complain about them, like I did?
