Sultan of Swing


He was a rocker and a roller, always had a plan

loved beautiful women, yes he was a full-blooded man

drove a fast fancy car, had plent of bucks

when times went bad, he'd just say "aw shucks"


a great attitude, he cared about the world

tried giving his time, as causes unfurled

gave freely his money, and offered his mind

yes he was a prince, always so kind


music was his calling, his godess of life

more passionate with notes, then most with their wife

he would listen and play, and lift his voice to sing

happy dancing feet, he was the Sultan of Swing


whenever a cloud, would pass in front of the Sun

he took it as a challenge, a reason for some fun

a happy little tune, would somehow appear

he would whistle and hum, until resolution was near


rock tunes were great, loud cruising guitars

he'd play anywhere, on the street or in bars

making people smile, was his favorite thing

jazzy dancing feet, he was the Sultan of Swing

I like this one. Very upbeat. I don't know if you got the title from the Dire Straits song, but either way.

I loved the flow. Kind of musical in a way :)
You might want to check for typos (poelple, plenty)

Peppy little tune/poem
this sounds like someone I know, always listening to music, singing, and always trying to bring a smile to mine or someone's face.
Love the new name combo Gomorpheus
