A Poet Walks Into a Bar . . .

She told me she was French
with a kiss
and we drove in the night
to some old dingy bar
she knew of.
Beer wasn't real cold
and the whiskey
was pretty rough,
but the piano was in tune
and there was cut neck
from a beer bottle
for the guitar player to slide
up and down.

As she kissed up and down
my neck
and told me stories
with words I didn't
understand.
The moon may have been
out,
but I don't remember.
As the radio played
into the night
in the cab of my truck.
We were in the bed
listening to june bugs.

Listening to the blues
as the night turns at midnight.
Driving on a road,
passed a million crossroads
and I still feel her kisses,
hear her words in French
that I never understood.
 
For those of you who have trouble understanding jazz, the late great Yogi Berra can help:

Yogi Berra Explains Jazz

Interviewer: Can you explain jazz?

Yogi: I can't, but I will. 90% of all jazz is half improvisation. The
other half is the part people play while others are playing something
they never played with anyone who played that part. So if you play the
wrong part, its right. If you play the right part, it might be right if
you play it wrong enough. But if you play it too right, it's wrong.

Interviewer: I don't understand.

Yogi: Anyone who understands jazz knows that you can't understand it.
It's too complicated. That's what's so simple about it.

Interviewer: Do you understand it?

Yogi: No. That's why I can explain it. If I understood it, I wouldn't
know anything about it.

Interviewer: Are there any great jazz players alive today?

Yogi: No. All the great jazz players alive today are dead. Except for
the ones that are still alive. But so many of them are dead, that the
ones that are still alive are dying to be like the ones that are dead.
Some would kill for it.

Interviewer: What is syncopation?

Yogi: That's when the note that you should hear now happens either
before or after you hear it. In jazz, you don't hear notes when they
happen because that would be some other type of music. Other types of
music can be jazz, but only if they're the same as something different
from those other kinds.

Interviewer: Now I really don't understand.

Yogi: I haven't taught you enough for you to not understand jazz that
well.

do yourselves a favour and go have a giggle. funniest goat thread. :D

Thanks for reminding me. :D

I have two words: Theo Epstein. (Also Joe Madden is very good.)

Have you seen this?


Funny, and yes to both Theo and Madden. I wish the former had never left the Bosox, and Madden was and is the smartest manager in baseball.

(Our friends across the pond and in other parts of the planet, are saying "What?" about now.)

But...

Let's talk about poetry
