Jazz
I penned this poem a few years ago and I thought it was dumb. What do you think? (Only constructive comments, please.)
Read it in your best Louis Armstrong voice.

Jazz
There's a real place in my heart for jazz music.
I'm not talking about this smooth jazz crap
where they take all the soul out of it
put it through a blender
and spoon-feed it to you.
I'm talking about real jazz, raw jazz,
the kind with rough edges that
stick out and poke you, make you
sit up and take notice, make you
ask, was it talking to me?
And the answer, my friend, is yes.
Yes, I got to hab' me some o' dat jazz.
Amen to that. There's some really horrible stuff out there that tarnishes the name "jazz".
