Anthony “Tappy” Paull

Playing to an Audience of One

Singing songs can soothe the soul of this we can be sure

Some the voice of nightingales for all of us to adore

 

But all must have a voice within that sometimes must come out

Not all voices similar some harsh enough to make you pout

 

But if the song comes from the heart then it should be heard 

And for those of us with lack of tone then Karaoke is the word

 

For Karaoke not a contest of who can sing the best

But a chance for all to try to give the song their best

 

But some the lure of the song like a Siren calls

They long to bring their songs to the crowds in Music Halls

 

But just because you sing in tune will not make you a star

For music is subjective you may fail or travel far

 

But in that moment you are on  stage breath the atmosphere in

Whether this be as far as you go or a your brilliant career begins

 

Always stay humble honest  true and appreciate the cheers

You may not always get them as you wonder through the years

 

For it is always best to remember why it is you sing

To bring forth into the world the happiness it brings

 

So Sydney Opera House or local pub when it’s all said and done

You should always be happy with an Audience of One.
