THE SYNCOPATED CAKEWALK
My present life is a Sunday morning cartoonIn it, I see Miss Hand and her Five Daughters
rubbing myback and the backs of my legs
Nat King Cole provides the music and the words
It’s 1949, Finished with them, I take off
on a river boat, down the Mississippi, looking for work.
On deck the got the Original Dixieland Jazz Band
doing “Big Butter and Egg Man.”
A guru haas the cabin next to mine and everybody
who visits…
