A Poem of Gratitude to Jazz Greats
I'd like to thank ol' Charlie Parker
That my darkest moods didn't get darker,
I'd like to thank John Coltrane
For easing my existential pain,
But most of all I'd like to thank
My special friend Thelonius Monk,
He made me happier when I was sober
And calmed my spirits when I was drunk!
