Just For Fun<br />

For now the smell of sap is clear<br />

And needles drop on Christmas cheer<br />

Don’t mind the mess, for as we know<br />

No plastic tree can challenge so<br />

Now lights turned on, let’s just admire<br />

And praise ourselves as we retire<br />

A Toast to Christmas Trees inside!<br />

<strong>That</strong> warmth we feel is surely pride!<br />

In Concert<br />

Wiley Clements<br />

Segovia, guitarist widely praised,<br />

always kept his right foot slightly raised.<br />

He never let his gripping thumb appear<br />

above the neck; and if we chanced to hear<br />

a scrape or screech like chalk across a board<br />

whenever the master slid from chord to chord,<br />

we told ourselves, "Where genius abounds<br />

the music may be better than it sounds."<br />
