Here is a little thing I wrote and a bit off my morning coffee mixed with some ink to make a lovely little ukulele image to go with my words.<\/p>\n

You can find this poem and the accompanying illustration in my book – A Coffee Stained Heart<\/a>.
\nThe page layout is much nicer than this though. I did a quick rearrangement here to make it a square and extra readable for my Instagram account<\/a>.
\nInstagram likes things nice and square. <\/p>\n

\"ukulele<\/a><\/p>\n

I wrote a song on Sunday for the ukulele I play no more.
\nI wrote it sitting at my piano and felt myself a whore.
\nI played it in the concert hall on my guitar so they would weep.
\nThe ukulele behind the curtain in another’s hands looked cheap.
\nI went home with a check in hand for my grand performance.
\nMy successful night didn’t make me smile, instead I felt abhorrence.
\nI laid my guitar against the wall and sat down to tap at ivory keys.
\nI played my tune once again and felt I was a sleaze.
\nI wished for my simple ukulele that I’d once long ago left behind,
\nmy instrument I’d loved and learned on that was always on my mind. <\/p>\n
