can you sing me a song (Free verse) by richa can you sing me a song my joyful reader
for you have been wanton all of your life,
sustaining your years like a lazy hour.
you have no tools to render the landscape
but I can make use of a well-written tale,
like candide at least Iâll learn something new.
can you sing me a song my joyful reader
like the songs in the towers, the songs on the roads
that Mozart would happily write on the page.
I know youâd sing sweetly my joyful reader
but sad that you could not sing sweetest of all
can I find you a place my joyful reader
a place or a song.

If I could sing sweetest of all I'd give you the Corpus Christi better than even the mighty Buckley managed. Sadly, nineteen-year-old chaps are not noted for having heavenly voices. I bet that zzinnia can sing, ask her.

Richard: this is not a question for the narrator. He does not presume to explain the feelings of the joyful reader.
Dovina: To be a joyful reader is not wanton.
Richard: I did not pick the word at random. I picked it for its connotations of indiscipline and playfulness and the general sonic frivolity of the word.
Dovina: But I see no fault in that.
Richard: I am very pleased for you.
