Guitar Hero (Charlie Milne)

poem by: Frank Hornby .
Written on Feb 16, 2017

"With his head bowed so low, Charlie strikes all the poses,
as he stands there like Slash, from the great Guns'n' Roses,
acoustic, or electric, two very different sounds,
but when our Charlie let's rip! each guitar holds no bounds,
sliding up, and down the frets, his fingers so quick,
the music flows through him, with another awesome lick!
He storms into "Paranoid," that track is a pure belter!
Oh! What a riff!...it's a real "face melter."
In a few years time, when young Charlie has a hit,
you will find me granddad, and his nana, going crazy!..in the "mosh pit."
