THAT SONG

I know the meaning of American Pie.
ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,
in case you think that what you thought you just head
you didn’t really hear-
I’ll repeat,

‘I know the meaning of American Pie.’

Took me thirty years to listed to that song
10.037 times
at eight minutes and twenty-seven seconds
each spin, that’s a long, long time.

I made 22 pilgrimages to the US
thirty years of waiting
outside Don’s house,
countless sifting through his garbage can
for clues,
attendance at 77 live concerts,
103 attempts to interview Don
to ask him THE question.

‘Don what is the meaning of American Pie.’

You know when I finally got to ask Don THE question,
he just smiled and turned away.

I can’t remember if I cried!

Ladies and gentlemen,
boys and girls,
there are 37 metaphors
in this incredible song
and through thorough
investigation and analysis
I have interpreted each one.

How do I know that I have
found the true meaning of these
obscure word pictures?
