Poem: Right Back Atcha

Frencham pluckin' on a stand-up bass
Take these broken chords and learn to walk
Unlike me
You has jazz and vocal skillability

(to the tune of Blackbird: The Beatles)

I Bean Writing Poetry

The Haricot Bean, the Haricot Bean

No other pulse is quite so obscene

Often heard, but rarely seen

L'odeur de la mort: The Haricot Bean

One day your eyebrows

Will become beautiful butterflies

Quiet Time Poem

God, He loves musicians

That's why he keeps 'em poor

If you want the proof read

Matthew 19:24

From The Archives

A footballing pastor called Painter,
Recorded the scriptures to train ter,
Scoring goal after goal,
From Judges to Joel,
Till the sound of his walkman got fainter.

Gershwin Poem

Poetic notes on Fascinating Rhythm by Deena Rosenberg

Two brothers
Fascinated by the polyrhythmic city
Meshing gears

The syncopation of different races
Black notes and blues notes
Afric' an' Jew notes
From slaves and from synagogues
Cantors in Cadillacs
An Empire Statement sound
Resounding
Jitterbugging through their brains
