A poem from a old player on the corner of the market street.... THe one who has his music case open and he plays for others...

You ask him what he enjoys playing and what instruments he's played before... and he replies..


I played once you know - just like you
In fact, if I remember correctly - on the kazoo.
The xylophone bored me with it's easy strike
A monkey could play and so could a tyke.
The Violin burns down to ash
And the player rarely earns cash
I have no fear, playing on the street
It's better than a zoo, and a fun treat!

    Quail, flatulence, shenanigans, epic, robust, kinky, tire

    There once was a quail with a problem so small
    He had flatulence that caused grown men to fall
    So one day a hunter who was up to his game
    Did some shenanigans that put him to shame
    In an Epic move to turn his fate
    The quail let loose a robust "poof" in his face
    The hunter, fell down and hit his head really hard
    Became kinky and on his guard
    The next time he did quail hunt with fire
    And the quail ran without tire
    You see the gas behind him did trail
    AND that is how the QUAIL lost his TAIL!

    You guys are just hilarious...

    MM - that's too funny - I'm listening to him right now. He IS - undeniably talented - wish I could sing in that type of style.

    I can write it - just can't sing it in Rap style.

    "That good - you wrote this right? How long to work it out?"


    about nine minutes - from when he posted his words to when I posted mine... But I had to go to the ladies room - yanno - too much tea.

    LMAO!

    Those original combination of words inspired me to write a poem also, not trying to steal your thunder, I won't write one again:

    I once met a monkey,
    A jack of all trades,
    Who could play the xylophone,
    And shake bones from their grave,

    He could play the kazoo,
    Have the dancehall spinnin,
    People got in the motion,
    And the monkey’d be grinnin,

    Colored black as ash,
    And cool as a cat,
    This monkey had no fear,
    There was no turning back,

    Not back to the zoo,
    Not while the drums rumble,
    His home was the music,
    These streets were his jungle.

      I do tend to inspire people quite often.
    2. wagerwitch
      That was GREAT!!!!

      Thanx. I really don't write poetry at all, although I do find it inspiring.

    So literal my mind dwells
    Straight forward logic
    Kazoo climax symphonies
    Xylophone tension

    I feel so close to a monkey
    So recently cast from
    A land of boredom and ash
    Paranoia like the sun bound
    To show fear through every
    Cloud of conscious thought

    Every line is so straight
    And begs it to be
    Literally my memory
    Why cant the zoo
    Be let out amongst
    My creativity

    Or did I beg it so when it was that
    To be more like the kazoo
    Notes weary of the fingers
    Like the xylophone ever
    Complimenting the kids
    Who monkey about
    And play in the ash of order
    The zoo continues on
    Without the main attraction
    He has left the safety of cages
    For the order of rhythm
    For the symmetry of open spaces
