\n Song of a Tone-deaf: for Allen and George Yuan<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nWould want to sing aloud to yourself, a song
\nThat everyone else might also love to sing; the song
\nWhose lines you never remember, nor can you
\nControl your pitch as it rises and falls randomly
\nOn its own, nor will you keep the tune on the
\nRight track; the song whose rhythm you do not
\nCare to follow, while lost in your little privacy
\nThe song that has an evasive buy generic propecia online<\/a> melody
\nDeeply encoded in your heart<\/p>\n
\nYour voice is full of euphonies<\/p>\n
