Jazz Kazoo


Underappreciated.

Underestimated.


A Great American Invention, it remains 

Culturally relevant, it is without refrain.


Pinnacle of hay-day innovation,

Emergent from tribal imagination.

For their espionage, a renovation,

Appalachian idea, local inspiration.


Refined in Buffalo, fresh, new steez,

It’s a Great American City.

Cheapened during war by Chinese,

plastic, what an awful pity.


Ever heard of JAZZ KAZOO?

music, not noise it’s what it do.


Mechanical humming, vibration, art,

star spangled great, & don’t fall apart.


Intuitive design and redesign too,

from traditions of old it’s the kazoo.


Appreciate it.

Learn it.

Play it.

Know about it.


T’was American renaissance,

A fine wine & a special sconce.



Ripe with promise & grit,

USA made, this thing is it.


For ‘what we have here’,

a Clever design engineer.


Free and fair, a sure victory so brilliant,

from inception, it was awfully resilient.


Despite war & the overwhelming despair,

jokes on China, see the rockets red glare.


The national instrument, oh as it should be,

but who’d dare believe such a task to oversee?


It’s so far from being a toy,

Yet, still it’s for all to enjoy.


It’s Jazz Kazoo, may it always ring true,

T’was a new one to me gifted from you.

Garden of Earthly Delights

Lurkers in the shadows Corner of the eye Movement, moaning On the big screen, loud The cinema was dark One central light source One large projection screen. Art was playing, loud,  P O R N O G Despite the screaming  with orgasmic profanity It’s so quiet. Library quiet. Distant shuffling & whispering Amongst the shadows, lurkers. Looking, not watching… It’s a theatre with no Audience. They look up, away from the film Shows up there, “the lounge” A sign read: C O U P L E S  O N L Y N O   S W A R M I N G Phallic grey sweatpants with eyes wait At the bottom of the stairs,  Hopeful for a date Eyes: fixated, watching, waiting Spookin’ at Creepin’ on Starin’ into Glarin’ through Goonin’ out His binoculars went up Two hands, two circles Frame his eyes He whistles at us Gesturing for attention  Desperate for attention We were the attraction We were safe upstairs, in the couples lounge Uncomfortable seats, we squirmed all around We always would go Just ...
