Good, sturdy music,
Kinda country, kinda pop,
All enjoyable.

Our dinner guest looked
The collection over and
Pulled out this great choice.
#dinnermusic #haiku #vinyl

Soon: spring sensation
When we sit down to dinner,
And it's light outside.
#dinnermusic #haiku #vinyl

With ten fingers and
A six- or twelve-string guitar,
Fourteen great tracks made.

One has to wonder:
Just how high do their amps go?
I bet eleven.
#dinnermusic #haiku #vinyl

Not too Christmasy
Unless you listen to words.
Good record, but weird.
#dinnermusic #haiku #vinyl

Sure does!

As it happens, there's
More sides to Melanie than
A roller skater.
#dinnermusic #haiku #vinyl

What does the cover
Have to do with the music?
Grabs your attention.
#dinnermusic #haiku #vinyl

Ms. Ronstadt's knee socks
And short shorts with roller skates
Say seventy-eight.

This record's title
Is an enigma wrapped up
In a paradox.
#dinnermusic #haiku #vinyl

Pour yourself a beer,
Enjoy both kinds of music:
Country and western.
#dinnermusic #haiku #vinyl

Ah, misogyny!
Plus lots of catchy music
That sounds like old ads.
#dinnermusic #haiku #vinyl

Kenny and the gang
Sing of Ruby, Ruben James,
And Bobby McGee.
#dinnermusic #haiku #vinyl

Today Dr. Hook,
Last night Dr. Demento.
Getting serious.
#dinnermusic #haiku #vinyl

How can I capture
The joy this album brings me
In only three lines?
#dinnermusic #haiku #vinyl

Know how to class up
A freezer pizza dinner?
With Rachmaninoff.
#dinnermusic #haiku #vinyl

Sounds like random pick
From 1960s Pop shelf,
Not in a bad way.
#dinnermusic #haiku #vinyl

Post-Morrison Doors
Makes me think of Frank Zappa.
That's not a bad thing.

Feelings should be free,
But Elvis Costello wants
Us to get happy.
#dinnermusic #haiku #vinyl

This guy's got the art
And the funk all on his own;
No Simon needed.
#dinnermusic #haiku #vinyl

Tonight's music has
An international flair.
Boobs on cover, too.
#dinnermusic #haiku

Frito chili pie
Makes us want to boogie and
Woogie to Whoopee!
#dinnermusic #haiku #vinyl

Is this not "Are We
Not Men? No, We Are Devo!"?
No, it's just Devo.
#dinnermusic #haiku #vinyl

The kind of music
You hope to hear on record,
Not made for CDs.
#dinnermusic #haiku #vinyl

We like pianos.
Classy music to go with
Quality cheap food.
#dinnermusic
#vinyl #haiku

The Boss's new tune
And some Bangles nostalgia
Pair well with stir fry.
#dinnermusic #haiku #vinyl

Our college senior,
Before heading back to school,
Chose this sweet soundtrack.
#dinnermusic
#haiku #vinyl

Ease into the week
With violin, comfort food,
And positive thoughts.
