if it's about Chris Squire I'm sure there are plenty of people around here that would like to read whatever you posted...I know I would.

Hey Matthew,
Ok, you got it. I've had a few people ask. Kind of embarrassing.....It took about 20 minutes to create. The words in ( ) were alternatives that I was thinking of using...so here you go....thanks for asking....
Here is the ORIGINAL FORUM POST.......
"OK, I don't know where this came from, it just popped into my head and rolled out on paper. I've been watching a lot of YES DVD's lately, so I guess I was
properly motivated.
Go easy on me guys, this is my first attempt at a rhyming lymric type whatever you call it!
The truth is in the words, but where this came from I HAVE NO IDEA!
Ode to Chris Squire....
Ode to the man name of Squire
Whose playing in me caused desire
To pick up the bass of four wire
And to play like this man I aspire
His playing nothing short of amazing
Of his bass I cannot stop gazing
To play like him strings a phasing (a....blazing)
Sound booming from the amp like Hell blazing (Hell....raising)
The bass made of guitar Rickenbacker
A beauty of cream color lacquer
Mr. Hall and his crew sure no slackers
Fixed with parts hunted for by his trackers
His form and style quite unique
To watch and ponder his technique
Try and try but fingers get weak
Hopes to play like him outlook bleak (him....this I seek)
His impact on life was so grand
Now I play in a Christian type band
You need only to HOLD OUT YOUR HAND
And pick those wires of metal strand
While more practice and time I require
To do justice this man I admire
And play my bass like a Lyre
Damn, my hands again they perspire! (This truly is what I aspire)
So in closing this Ode to his Sire
Truth be told a few laughs my desire
My hopes not to evoke his Ire'
All this in homage to Mr. Chris Squire"

that's really good...I like the phrasing. It's a hell of alot better than I could ever hope to do.

Well, i'd say - yes, but you've posted it already anyway.
