Poetry

By Jennette Ritchie

Here There and Everywhere!
 
They were Here There and Everywhere,
The 60's generation, 
Hearing their cry,
After the president died.

John Paul George and Ringo,
Riding high, 
As if they could touch the sky.
Looking down on the kingdom they ruled,
And the music that fueled their lingering desire,
To show their peers what they could achieve, 
And they did indeed achieve what they set out to do.

Now it's 40 years away from the past, 
And what those four lads from Liverpool did last.  
Their music still touches our hearts, 
And fills our souls,
For the Beatles, will always be,
Here There and Everywhere.

The Beatles Live On!

Filling our senses with their song.
Filling our mind with pictures unseen.
Making their ideas sound fresh and clean.
John was the mastermind, 
The force behind it all.
Paul was the backbone who knew the business of it all.
George was the soul strong and pure,
He was the mystic Beatle after all.
Ringo the flesh and blood, 
Making the four work together once and for all.
