Posted by Linda on 12/22/2005, 9:32 am I also wanted to share a "poem" that was sent to me by a blues musician friend. It made me smile...hope it does for everyone here. I understand that it is credited to Gerald Lloyd Kookson III... All the best to you this holiday season. 'twas the night before Christmas and all through the pad The stove was hung up in that stocking routine The kids had fell by and just made the street When there started a rumble, it came on real frantic I saw a slick rod that was makin' fat tracks And a funny old geezer was flippin' his lid They were outta the chute makin' time like a bat Parked by the smokestack in bunches and clusters His threads were from Cubesville and I had to chuckle The mop on his chin hid a button-down collar Like he was the squarest, the most absolute He laid the jazz on me and peeled from the gig
Jeff,
Just wanted to take a moment to wish you a Happy Chanukah, or Happy Holidays..whichever is perferred.
Linda
Not a hip cat was swingin' and that's nowhere, dad
Like maybe the fat man would soon make the scene
I was ready for snoresville, man was I beat
So I opened the window to figure the panic
Souped up by eight ponies all wearin' hat racks
He told 'em to make it and, man, like they did
Turnin' the quarter in eight seconds flat
Then chubby slid down, comin' on like gangbusters
In front, not in back, was this Ivy League buckle
And with that red nose, dad
But, let's face it, huh, who cares when he left all that loot
Wailin' "Have a cool yule, man" and later "like, dig?"
