Let's Rock On!


I am an electric guitar.
I make people rock out,
especially punks and skateboarding dudes.
They jump and down when they hear my high-pitched scream.
they spike up their hair, and yell, "Rock on!"
My dream is to be played by Carlos Santana,
to be held in his worn-out hands,
while his curly hair bounces with the rhythm of my music.
He would clutch me softly while I glisten and shine in the light.
He would strum and play the music of his heart and soul.
Carlos Santana jumps up and down, crazy and wild.
The lights shine upon both of us.
The excited yelling of the crowd pumps the adrenaline in his veins.
I love to rock out!
