i am an electric guitar

i am an electric guitar
versatile and unique
with a head, neck and body
a distorted sense of humor
and an amplified voice
always rocking hard
not wanting to stop
because resting is overrated
sometimes flat and sometimes sharp
if you catch me out of tune watch out
predictably unpredictable
taking unexpected riffs
always with a song inside my head
i choose the tempo of my life
lento, presto, or moderato
not perfect
with accidentals to prove it
but the show must go on
my life is all about the music
