Let Music Be The Food Of Love Poem by Alan Sandham

Let Music Be The Food Of Love



If music be the food of love give me access to it!
Let saxophones full-throated moan,
Let violins sweetly drone,
Let the piano player pound out that tune,
And make it dance and make it soon!

Let my poor heart quicken!
Feed me, lest the want of music sicken!
Let no-one leave here kind of blue,
Cool or Hot just play it true,

Make it tango, make it salsa,
Make it some kind of waltzer,
But whatever jazz you play
Play it now, for us, today!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This is in celebration of Jeremy MacMurray & The Pocket Orchestra, a band playing jazz across Teesside, England. With apologies, too, to Shakespeare for purloining his opening line.
