Analysis of Subjective Preferences
Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)
I like Andrew Wyeth art
And Norman Rockwell too,
But you may think that it is smart
When Picasso is in view.
I've loved The Beatles 60 years;
A "long and winding road",
But you say Elvis brings you tears,
As memories unfold.
And also, I like Emily,
Miss Dickenson quite nice,
But I know you do not agree
Since she makes you think twice.
It does not matter which we choose
We do not have a thing to lose.
There is no right or wrong, you see
So I will choose what's right for me.
