Lyrics first, tune next

Lyrics or tune? What stands first?

Writing easy to tune lyrics is a gift

Writing lyrics after the tune is skilful

Yet lyrics first scores over tune first majestically

As lyrics captures all ideas intended

Writing the lyrics setting the tune

Needs to insert all ideas into the tune

Yea lyrics first, tune next!

It takes a lyricist to compose the lyrics

Lyricist is a tune savvy poet!

Yea a more evolved skilful poet

Magically making a poem a musical song

Song is the lyrics fit for a tune when written first

Fitting into a tune is the lyrics after the tune

Lyrics first makes the tune dance

Tune first makes lyrics dance to the tune

Yea  lyrics first tune next is the best way

For a lovely enchanting song

Hail such a lyrics hail such a lyricist

To turn the song the lyrics way!
