~ a jazz cat ~
Damn man
try as I might my friend
I just can’t configure a chord
not with my pretty little
padded pussycat paws
nuh uh
not happenin’
if I strain my little toes
and stick my claws waaay out
I can almost get decent dyads
at least dissonant ones
ones I bet Ornette woulda liked
and probably Charlie too
but man
just ain’t no way
I can spread for a triad
major or minor
ain’t gettin’ there dude
but
wait a minute
maybe if I use my mouth
you know
kine’a ligh dis
nope
hell no
ain’t makin’ it
n’that hurt
but
wow
this middle “C”
tastes pretty damned good!
