The poem at 3 a.m.

it visits only to mock you.

If you think the poem visits at 3 a.m. only to mock you, then 
I think you should rethink your relationship with the poem.

Do you think I should change the time so that no one thinks of a song
that also uses "3 a.m."? Hmm, let's see.

I've thought about it. I want the same relationship with a poem as I do
with my wife: I say when, and she says how.

The Amish have a work ethic and are not afraid of hard work, so that is a big no.

Not having clicked the link yet, I'm guessing it's either Chicago or Matchbox 20.

It's always nice to hear that, occasionally.

Knowing your idiosyncratic sense of humor, I'm not convinced that you
don't know the original. Just in case, though, I'm sending an OB link.

Though it's rock, you may like it. It has a brassy arrangement that
reminds me of a bluesband, and the lead guitar thingy sounds more jazz
than rock to me. I hope that makes it more interesting to you.

> Quite a good short poem.....

Thanks. It needs a bump, though; so let me tell you what I'm starting
off here. I got the idea after I was trolled into posting "Usenet's
Greatest Poet" on aapc, and it ended up on the front page there for weeks.

Now that I was posting poetry again, I had to find some to post. I
top-posted a couple of limericks (which have also been bumping on and
off the front page). By then I'd remembered the "April" section of
/Doggerel/, full of similar satires. None of it can be read at present,
and here's a way to introduce it to people who haven't read it or have
forgotten it.

This is the first poem in "April" (following the title tercet). It isn't
a satire on anyone, but it's about writing and its difficulty, so it
belonged in the "poetry" section. (April's National Poetry Month in our
two countries, but you probably knew that).

The "Wayward Muse", as I often refer to her.

Interesting coincidence, I was discussing the music scene of the early 1970s here with a friend who is a decade older than me and Chicago Transit Authority, as Chicago was known at first, came up.

Turns out that in their very early days, Chicago Transit Authority played here at a small rock and roll club called Hallabaloo, must have been 1969 or 1970, a fact that I never knew until this week.

Shame there weren't any photo's; cameras were a luxury in the deep south, back then. Plenty of ho's, no photos, as they used to say.

There might be photos, but I haven't seen any yet.

There was no club called "Hallabaloo."  If anything, it was called "Hullabaloo."

Bullshit, Will.  Chicago (CTA or Chicago Transit Authority) played the Midwest Circuit in the early days and then went to Los Angeles.  By 1969, they were already headlining (and in Atlanta):
Oct 29, 1969	Chicago / Joe Cocker / Santana    	Municipal Auditorium	Atlanta, Georgia, United States

They never played in Columbus.

I was told by an eyewitness that Chicago Transit Authority did play here at the Hullabaloo Club.

That's hearsay.  We don't know who your "eyewitness" is, but he is wrong.  Chicago's tours and concerts are fully listed here:
https://www.concertarchives.org/bands/chicago?page=111#concert-table
and the "Hallabaloo" or "Hullabaloo" club is not listed.  Columbus is not listed.  

We just posted proof that Chicago was not in Columbus.  Post proof that they were.

Okay, since I wasn't there, I can't say for sure, so I have no argument.

I can't even find any details on the Hullabaloo Club in Columbus Georgia, so far.

IOW, you are wrong.  Please don't post things that you don't know are true.  You stated this "appearance" as a "fact" above ("must have been 1969 or 1970, a fact that I never knew until this week.").

Remember when you stated that Linda Ronstadt did a concert in Columbus (she did not) and that the Everly Brothers were at the County Fair (they were not)?  Whoever or whatever your source of information is, it is not reliable.

If you honestly think Will Dockery and reliable go together then you do not know Will Dockery.
He's probably getting his information from Sulzbach.

The Everly Brothers did not do any concerts in Columbus from 1964 to 1971:

https://www.setlist.fm/stats/concert-map/the-everly-brothers-5bd6af64.html?year69 (just change the year on the search bar)

We went through this before.  The Everly Brothers were not in Columbus.

I might be wrong since, as I stated, I wasn't there.

The Everly Brothers were definitely at the local fair, since I attended that show and watched the performance.

I do hope so have some evidence of that eventually.

The list you posted here is incomplete, since the Everly Brothers definitely performed here many years ago.

You are mistaken.  The lists show every concert and appearance that the Everly Brothers made.  They were not at your county fair.  Look at this one:
https://concerts.fandom.com/wiki/Everly_Brothers
or this one:
https://www.concertarchives.org/bands/the-everly-brothers?page=2#concert-table
or this one:
https://theconcertdatabase.com/artists/everly-brothers

You may have heard their music on the speakers, but they were not there.  If the Everly Brothers had been at your county fair, it would not be a secret--it would be listed on their appearances sites.  They were not in Columbus, and you are either lying or mistaken.

No, I still think that the lists you posted are incomplete.

As with the proof that Ahmos Zu-Bolton was at Carver High School in May 1976, it may take a while to prove that the Everly Brothers performed here, but I hope to have evidence eventually.

By the time I saw the Everly Brothers at the Columbus Georgia Fair it would have been around 1969-70, long past the time when they were recording hits.

It was still great to see their show, though.

Don't lie, Will.
I definitely see you as an alcoholic eight-year-old.

Too bad there weren't any cameras around then.

We find it very suspicious that the everlypedia site is the only one which mentions the Columbus fair.  If the Everly Brothers were actually at that county fair, they must have been ashamed of it.

Also, Will Dockery moved the goal posts:  first he said he was 8 or 9 years old, which would have made the appearance in 1966 or 1967.  Now it moved to 1970, when Dockery would have been 12 years old.

One should also bear in mind that the Everly Brothers' career had bottomed out by 1970... so it is conceivable that they would have been performing at the Hog Sloppers' Hoedown in Columbus.

Why the hell would they go to that shithole? It's where bands go to die.
Or at least wish they were dead if they're there already.

Dreckster keeps trying to change the subject so clumsily. That's what
kooks do, Little Willie Douchebag! Try dancing without the fucking clown
shoes next time.
