Mediocre is defined as “straight up the middle,”
like Middle of the Road radio programming was.
Both have a negative connotation, though.
I think I support that negative.

Who wants average?
Huey Lewis & the News is pretty average.
“Power of Love” is optimum Huey Lewis + News materiel,
so it’s the epitome of averageosity,
simply perfect in its mediocrity.
I did not like it when it came out,
when I had a care for the band.
It has not much grown on me.

I’ll bet it has its supporters;
I believe it charted.
I’m sure it’s an excellent song
for those who like that sort of thing.
If that’s not the perfect sentence for “Power of Love,”
I don’t know what is.
