Today's Prompt is Write your lyrics

I would like to show you how easy it is to actually see your words in a song. The best way I can think of is to give an example.  The song I chose is what I believe A vary easy example of a four stanza poem with a repeat double line. The rhyme is the second and forth lines last word of each stanza.
 SO this is what you do, LISTEN TO THE SONG, follow the syllable count to the tune and write about something you know.  Then you should be able to sing your words to the song. The song we are using is Welcome to my world by Dean Martin here are the words.

Welcome to my world
Won't you come on in?
Miracles I guess
Still happen now and then

Step into my heart
Leave your cares behind
Welcome to my world
Built with you in mind

Knock, and the door will open
Seek, and you will find
Ask, and you'll be given
The key to this world of mine

I'll be waiting here
With my arms unfurled
Waiting just for you
Welcome to my world

Waiting just for you
Welcome to my world

 I am still trying to get people to read my blog, SO OURS IS ...

  2. From my cats, to the tune of Sumertime....

    Diner time, and the living is easy
    Bowls of food, floating down from on high.
    Fish in jelly
    Or maybe meat in gravy,
    A nice bowl of milk there on standby.

    One of these mornings
    We might have to go hunting
    The hings that run fast
    Or the things that can fly
    But until that morning
    We will never go hunger
    With a well trained human standing by.
    Now all together FOOD we cry.

  5. Welcome to my world,
    Filled with cats within,
    Please don't mind the fur,
    I'm sorry for the din.

    Please ignore the one
    Washing his behind,
    It's really not a hint,
    He's not got you in mind.

    I wouldn't chose that chair,
    Ginger will protest.
    Oh dear, I'll go and find
    A bandage for your chest.

    I'm sorry there's no seat
    Without a cat there curled
    I'm afraid you'll have to stand,
    Welcome to my world!
