The Spirit of Robert Plant

written in December '21, a piece that still doesn't have a title

the spirit of Robert Plant
took over one of two bodies,
the one owned by Ray Dorset
or the one owned by Phil Lynott,
and created a new version of
his band three decades later

but these guys have a bunch
of jackasses backing them up
for some reason, the answer
to that query remains elusive

the pranks abound and the
victims are beyond pissed,
but the music bangs as if
we never left the 1970’s

and the wild card and
the cat burglar fell in love,
or something

and as per usual,
the imagery is clearer
than cloudy piss but
the band rocks harder
than a rock fight
in a gravel pit

we went there and there is
no point in going back

enjoy the fiery merry-go-round
ride from hell, because what
else can you do?

Kenneth, you’ve got me Googling rock legends now! Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin) and Phil Lynott (Thin Lizzy)...officially humbled.

I’m pretty sure I’ve overheard my mom rocking out to their songs, so I might have to ask her for the full history lesson. Your fiery merry‑go‑round of a poem now has a whole new soundtrack in my head. Thanks for the legendary music history.

If it was Robert Plant vs Dimebag Darrel in a mud wrestling match for the fate of the nation... who are you putting your duckets on?

Good question, I might go with Robert Plant. Thanks for the review.
