An Illusory Guitar!

AN ILLUSORY GUITAR

This is my blood-relation,

Doing this strange gyration!

Cousin Richard's son

Having lots of fun

With a lot of animation!

*

It's the Air Guitar he's playing;

The expression he's conveying

Denotes  the thrill

Of this noble skill

And the music he's portraying.

*

To play the Air Guitar;

And be considered a star,

You give an illusion,
 Creating confusion,
And folk say how great you are!

*

I believe there are A.G. schools

Where people learn the rules.

If you're young and lithe

And you can writhe

You already possess the tools!

*

Now this was some years ago;

Matthew's cut his hair, I know.

He's a family man!

I doubt if he can

Find time to put on a show.

*

Maybe one of his sons will say

'I want something cheap to play'

'There'd nothing to spend!
All you do is pretend!
Here's the music! Start right away!'
