An Elderly Gentleman Discovers Nirvana
Of course he had heard of Kurt Cobain,
had curled his lips dismissively,
equating rock music to Jurassic noise.
Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms
were all the B’s he needed for his hive.
The great American song book was his bible.
Yet and even,
when he listened to that ‘Never Mind’ album
play list on YouTube,
that gentleman, not much given to profanity,
said to himself:
‘Crap, I missed’.
