Music - Johnny Cash, The Man In Black Poem by Paul Warren

The Man in Black was an American icon
Who sang for the ordinary man in his song
I still remember a Boy named Sue
Who when he met his father he knew what it do

Then there was the Burning Ring of fire
As the burning flames got higher
He gave the town of Jackson fame
With June Carter in his game

As he grew older his voice matured
With the Man Comes Around it endured
But his concerts in the jails prevailed
When his Folsom Prison Blues were nailed

He had his issues with life
Which included some drug strife
But when you listen to his music now
Johnny Cash stand up and take a bow.
