Digging to extend the lines

So I invented a new iPod game that relates in some way to being a literature student: "iPod Magnetic Poetry." With my iPod on shuffle, I will use the first line of the first song, the second line of the second song, third line of the third song, etc. to create a random poem. I am sure it will make no sense, but we'll see. I decided to use 14 lines like a sonnet, though obviously my poem will lack the rhyme scheme necessary, unless there is a huge coincidence.

Here goes . . .


iPod Magnetic Poetry

There are things to talk about
On California One, on California One.
An old man said to me, "Won't see another one."
Who remembers your face?

Never said it was sunshine but you took it all of the time.
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic.
When in Rome they're digging to extend the lines,
A troubled mind can find no rest.

I thought it was cute.
I know you must try
All that we need tonight.
Baby, baby, baby, light my way.

Something as good --
You will come home.
