THIS IS THE INTRO TO MY 2020 BOOk read my stuff best to worst:
A poem/song (366) for every day of the year
by Tom Jensen…
(with current updates!)
About Me:
My name is Tom Jensen.
I am really good
at three things in this world. One of them is writing lyrics
for songs with the occasional poem tossed in every so
often for style points.
About This: I’ve been writing poems and song lyrics for
over twenty years. In 2007 I put a bunch of my poems
onto YouTube videos and asked musicians to turn them
into songs. Many of them did.
Fast forward 13 years
(AUTHOR'S NOTE IT'S NOW 18)
and I have collected up all the
best things I’ve written and
arranged them in order from MY BEST
ones to ones that
aren’t quite as good.
I ranked all my babies so you can
just start reading the best stuff right away.
Stop reading when you don’t like
them anymore, no problem…
See how far ya get!
I’m opening ALL my lyrics up to
musicians again. Let’s make some music!
Time to spread our wings…

(AUTHOR'S NOTE - NOPE, it's collabtunes.com)
is my website
These poems and songs are meant to be read or sung out
loud (preferably in a strong Boston accent to ensure
maximum rhymability). Haha.
But seriously, some stuff
doesn’t rhyme in southern twang…
I’m warning ya. Haha.
I invite musicians from all over the world to turn my
poems and lyrics into songs
Over 120 songs have been made from my words so far…
I’m a road’s scholar of the soul…
I got my PhD in Rock n’ Roll…
First you become a reader…
Then you become a believer…
That’s when we all get together…
To try to make this world better…
My Goal: I believe that art is a vehicle for change with
time outs taken for necessary escapism. (AUTHOR'S NOTE:
I don't believe in anything that much anymore so don't
get all bent out of shape if you see something you don't
like.
If you read everything you will
love me and hate me pretty evenly!)
Dedication: I’m glad to still be sharing the earth with
Noam Chomsky – my favorite living author. (AUTHOR'S NOTE:
It seems that once Noam and that football coach with all
the rings (Bill B.) got some young tail their minds went
a little crazy! There may be something to be learned here
... I mean Noam went full Letterman FFS!)
Contact: I am always looking for people who like what
I do and want to help. There is contact information
available at readtom.com. (AUTHOR'S NOTE: That's a lie.

Thank you for your time,
Tom Jensen
