Dept., Ottawa and for payment of postage in Cash today i would like to introduce the new poet laureate of Coffee break James Diamond Louie King. He is the Only cat i know who can play the piano from the inside. One Day he woke up with a hangover like an elephant s trunk gazed wistfully at the twitching tuning Forks which used to be his fingers and shouted Quick Man get me a set of vibes before i lose the you May know him As a professional musician Arranger raconteur and Good humor Man Par excellence that s a Little French term i just made but today he s a poet. So take it away Kingo Spring is just around the Corner and Young men s fancies Are turning to things like cold showers Long walks in memorial Park or scribbling poetry on the backs of clearasil Box tops. But for us autumnal gaffers some times All that is left is trying the poetic bag. For reasons which Are rather obvious i suppose i will have to share credits for the following Zircon with Edgar Allan and Moe. The Tabby once upon a Midnight foggy As i pondered weak and groggy Over some arrangement i was writing for a to score while a Short doze 7. Was snatching there came a scratching As of someone scratching scratching at my studio door. Tis some juice head i muttered scratching at my studio door. This and nothing v then i Felt my skin Start crawling for my guest was quite appalling in he crept a. Big sleek Tabby haughty and disdainful too. J leaped up on my piano tearing my Brand new Grey flannel 1 but the Tabby merely stood there singing in voice so True. Singing out like Tony Bennett in a swinging voice so True. Sang the Tabby shoo be do. I was flipped with this ungainly cat who Sang ideas stretching out melodic phrases improvising brilliantly. And i could t help agreeing that no living human being j Ever yet could sing a jazz lick sounding quite so right and free. Most jazz singers being human never sound so right and free. Sang the Tabby shoo be Dee. This cat makes one impression showing freshness of expression. Thoughts of making fortunes Start to thrill me to my very Bones. But the Tabby sets me grieving then by turning Tail and stay around please can use you my pleading tired voice moans. Chasing him along the hallway. again my tired voice moans.
