Just got a new Johnny Cash Cd for my birthday and it inspired me to write this poem.

When my life gets too ordinary
And I feel like doing something rash,
I rummage through my CD collection
And listen to Johnny Cash.

He was not slick and sophisticated
Or trendy and flash.
He was brutally honest his whole life;
Just being Johnny Cash.

With a face made out of granite
And a tongue like a lash,
He dominated with his dignity.
"Hello.  I'm Johnny Cash."
