Zig-Zag

Reverse this polarity, my hormonal engine Playing my body like a baby grand Rough and rugged, Jerry Lee Lewis Succumbs to Louis Armstrong in Platinum Blues verses boogy woogy An invariable blender, shaken not stirred Keeping me up nights Tapping my toes to the teardrops entered for consideration in MJ's contest, "Let's get untwisted"

Like a jazz vibration caressing my brain this poem moves with the power of a train. Love it!

This is awesome, Alexandra! Such a clever take on "Let's get untwisted"! The bipolar interpretation, especially comparing Jerry Lee Lewis to Louis Armtrong, is brilliant! I'm leaving early tomorrow to go deep sea fishing for a few days. I'll write when I get back. I do think you have a winner here! Love to you, dear.
