The sounds I played on that broken guitar
when I was a bedroom rock and roll star
The chords, the twang
That piece of wood really sang
And the thing is
the music magically appears
from 31.5 centimetres of wood
and four rubber bands
My friend said I should
put six rubber bands
The urging of a choice
in that stainless steel voice
between notes chords or double stops
The music I conjured I still can not top
I did not think I was too cool
or above using that ruler I was given in primary school
The rule of thumb I find
is if you are the kind
who can not afford
six hundred dollars or more
Pull out your six string rubber band ruler
and play as no one has played before
