John had become so accustomed to rolling out of a woman’s bed as at the same time he slipped into his clothing (so he could flee from the husband) that it became the only way he knew how to get dressed.
Consider the humble guitar, / And how many it’s carried so far. / Presley, Hendrix, Lennon, and Atkins / Thrilled us all with their styles of “pickin’s!” / I’ll even salute Ravi Shankar with his sitar!

The prosaic explanation: He’s trying to tune it in a noisy room, so he’s doing contortions to get an ear near the sound box.
That’s the problem with playing guitar. A violinist would demand silence in the room – and maybe also hears his own instrument better because of bone conduction from the chin on the violin.

/// As he tunes his guitar, he’s resorting
to some awkward and painful contorting.
When it’s strummed out of tune
nearby pigeons will swoon,
and to catch birds like that isn’t sporting.

If you play really off key, music can be used to kill song birds.

The folks come from near and far/
When Henrique plays his guitar/
Though a few look askance/
At his strange choice of pants/
And his moves – which are somewhat bizarre///

Francois loved his guitar and the music
He played to some seemed sweet and cherubic.
The guitar’s curves like a girl’s,
Vibrating strings a lover’s murmurs —
His face intense in search of the right rubric.

Musicians have a soul sense others have not
Poets have something like musicians have got,
Words set out to stalk on a page.
Music sounds fly from mind’s cage
Harmonic-weave nests to gather and knot.
