| POEM: Getting Old |
| A. John Graves | 6/21/10 |
|
| Back to the News Summaries |
|
The twenties, thirties, and forties too
Were jazzdom's greatest years.
When ragtime, Dixie, and then big bands
Drew wild applause and cheers.
To have heard these sounds in person, think
How old you'd have to be!
The Professor's been there and done that, 'cause
He's really old, you see.
That's why some songs at Nello's played
Are songs you've never heard
(Except perhaps at grandma's house
As she cooked the festive bird).
 Come live in the past on Wednesday eves,
Whether you're old or not,
And bring your visiting kinfolk and friends . . .
You might find they like it a lot. |
