Backyard Balladeer

Backyard Balladeer

Is it the kind merry
men in tights wooed
young maidens with?

The kind cowboys
sang ’round campfires
after eating beans?

The kind of ballad
damp teens swayed to
at sockhops in 1979?

Or the kind a free bird
in some hotel in California
would climb a stairway to heaven
for front row tickets to hear?
