Obladi-Oblada

Obladi-Oblada

Imagine a world without

The Beatles

like in the movie “Yesterday”;

where no one’s heard of

Hey Jude or Yellow Submarine–

would life even make sense

when we don’t know what

Obladi or Oblada means,

and I wouldn’t know if you’d

still still love me–

when I’m sixty-four.
