HW: Lyrics

[J Strobridge]

Just a thought on lyrics in that IMO it takes a rather special type
of mind to write lyrics that are succinct and yet imply something
fundamentally important or complex and still fit into a some kind of
rhythmic beat or a piece of lyrical music - it's not something I would
like to have to do!     Bob Calvert certainly had the skill - anyone who
can condense the entirety of Asimov's "I Robot" series into just 2 lines
of text "You'd hold the whole world in your metal claws / If it wasn't
for the three laws, of Robotics"  rates as an absolute genius to me!
But perhaps I'm just easily satisfied.
