I'm not Beethoven

I can't sing a song about you-

there's no melody that'll go with it.

I'll have the words & the paper for them to rest on, but that's the most that I'll be able to do

I can't sing about you.

the world's smallest violin wouldn't work.

any percussion would play louder than my heart pounding -

screaming like a needy child.

I can't sing a song about you

I won't even try.

Even Beethoven would have failed

at doing so.

Couldn't pitch in on the actual song 

there was more out there to create 

for my talents don't rest on my vocals alone, 

my mother knew what she consulted my dad 

on what my name should be.
