Queen

 (Picture Credit - IMDb)

What can I say about Queen?

A band who superseded The Beatles

And maybe even bettered them.

That Voice of Super Freddie

The Sun King indeed.

Brian May’s soaring guitar

Backed up by the typically quiet Bass Man

John Deacon

With Roger Taylor

Pounding those drums.

They were the complete package.

Even their lyrics were great.

Songs ranging from hard rock

To slow songs that seduce the soul.

Songs that will live forever.

Some that make me cry

And others that later make me

Get up and shadow-box

A heavier version of Freddie himself.

For Freddie Mercury was larger than life,

So cruelly taken from us

Too soon,

As John Lennon was.

And Elvis of course.

Too many bite the dust.

Bee dop bop bee dee bop

Bee bop, bee bop

Dee da day

With these immortal words

Freddie sends us

On our way.
