To My Rocky Horror Picture Show Record That I Have Never Played

You sit in between Queen and David Bowie

Your faded red jacket always calls to me

I know you feel rejected most of the time for my Arctic Monkeys record or my new Nirvana record.

But I swear I love you the most

Like Janet I was innocent before I was introduced to your hijinks and danceable lyrics

I wish to preserve you like I couldn't to my innocence

You come from a time before me, I know

Your lyrics are far wiser than I was when I first heard the beats to "Science Fiction/ Double Feature"

You come from a time where you became a cult classic

The world wishes to celebrate you every year

It's not that I do not wish to play you, because I do

You just are simply too beautiful to play

I wish to frame and admire you like a Dali painting

Maybe one day I will finally muster up the moxy to play you

And on that day I will do The Time Warp again

But until then while you sleep snuggly between Freddie Mercury and David Bowie

Remember this:

You will always be my favorite record.
