Rod Stewart

Rod Stewart.

Youngest of five Rod born
in 'forty five his first yawn.
Highgate. North London the place
well to do the populace.

A 'fantastically happy' boy
football and music his joy.
Arsenal his favourite football team
father encouraged his football dream.

He captained his school at the ball game
but music would find him fame.
Harmonica is first choice
then found that rasping voice.

Long John Baldrey took him on
the flip side with one song.
Decca records scouted him
Rod left them on a whim.

He found fame with 'Faces'
enthused with great auspices.
Rod still enjoyed a solo career
that raspy voice would domineer.
