Rhapsody in B Minor
[No, wait that�s]

RapCity, Minor, B

Boy in baggy blues,
Boombox hanging and
banging against his leg.
Baseball cap not backwards
but bendified - oblique.
T-shirt a billowy billboard
for some band not yet bygone.
Way too cool to
bop to the beat,
his stroll
is a Jack tar roll
with nothing to do with rock and.
His hip-hop rap ripples
with repetitive rhymes -
Boastful bluster in
alternative alliteration.
Boosted bass blasts,
blowing away
bird songs,
bothering blue-hairs
by the bus stop,
bringing bad-blood
and back-at-ya barks
between the boy and
black leather bystanders
but
it can't do nothing
to banish
that ol' boogie woogie
barreling eight to the bar
'round my soul.

Clever, this. And quite a nice example of alliteration, Frank.

I quite like 'bendified' and the rhythmic meter you employed throughout the piece. Definitely consider submitting to Mused!
