The Strawberry in My Jam

Folder: 
After Dinner Mint

                    

                   the strawberry in my jam

                   can you feel it

                   as we blow Coltrane

                   Dizzy on the keys

                   Ella scattin' like there is

                   no tomorrow

                   Lady Blue talkin' bout

                   'Good Mornin' Heartache'



                   No, no, no

                   the heartfelt rythms in

                   my soul give birth to "Poetry in Motion"

                   therefor it is

                   and will always be

                   in all ways a poeticheart



                   As Etta James becomes the

                   SoulLyricist she was meant

                   to be - cause she can see

                   and feel

                   the Strawberry in My Jam



                   As we turn up the funk

                   in Finland, Russia, and

                   Asiatu - dropping jewels of

                   wisdom fealt by the shores of

                   strawberrylagoon



                   passions arise infiltrating

                   logic - signs reading

                   "Don'ta toucha the thirda

                   RaiLa 'cause you will get wet"



                   Dancing the RaChelieChele in

                   your back yard to catch a

                   glimpse of the space shuttle

                   aaron1 making one more pass

                   before jetting off to Kxcell

                   the planetary groove of Funk



                   the Strawberry in My Jam

                   as we ride down to Tokies

                   to see Nettajack

                   laying down flow like

                   liquid making love to the roots

                   of earth - can you feel it

                   can you taste

                   the Strawberry in My Jam

                   as we be jamin'

                   blow 'train

                   blow

As I have stated the combination of jazz with poetry is absolutely wonderful! Tight piece, my man.
