Razzamatazz a Sunday for Jazz/edit 8/9/2010 for smoother flow

a soul soothing downbeat

a heart wrenching tome

no Johnny come lately

just leave me at home

or jerk me to upright

then rattle my bones

your talented fingers

never idle alone

finding my far away

sweet low Dixieland

that sound so forlorn

comin'up from the gut man

movin' and down thru the horn

harsh low down music

sweet sounds newly born

tapping out some tunes on my xylophone, Johnny my cat meows and moans, starts swingin' his tail like a metronome, and looks for a way to escape my home-

a foul note happens (shouldn't have eaten those beans), Johnny cat passes out, wakes up and climbs the screens, looks at me and snarls "you're really mean!"

so i switch to the congas and tap on the skins, Johnny cat mellows out and comes back in, meowing and purring with a catnip happy grin, lays at my feet and starts to snooze, then he hacks up a GINORMOUS fur ball all over my new shoes.
