Aloha,
This little gem was found at the bottom of the boat harbor near Waikiki . .... the same fictional boat harbor Gilligan left on his "three hour tour" before we all became stranded at Gilligan's Island. This information is an example of backstory.
Writers don't have to be famous to come up with little phrase gems they like. They can do that in their reading activities. Great writers record their personal favorite "little gems" as journal entries. They may discover their style in this way. Let's think about that as we write today. Enjoy!
Genre: Jazz
It.s a Rhythm Thing
So brutal your honesty, honestly ruthless beautiful you
Some say you must lighten it up for you know who
So cool you, your rhetoric too, bright like a brick you hear it tick
Now and then if you will, just say if you're ill or feel a bit sick
It goes by quick, you won.t feel the sting .. It.s a rhythm thing
People really listen as those words you glisten
They swoon and they sway with the voice of their choice
Another chat another day hear it as you say,
"Trust the sway, feel that swing".. It.s a rhythm thing
You bet your boot someone gives a hoot
Those things you might do or may, or so they say
You.re the fashionable bling ... It.s a rhythm thing
All that remains are slight discernible stains
Not so squeaky and clean, still they know what you mean
Right then and there it.s up in the air for all who care
Some kind of change it.s a bird it.s a plane
Single words can.t explain what life will contain
And that song you sing .. It.s a rhythm thing
