Extra Pizzazz Jazz

Listen to poem:
The oomph and zing of extra spin
adds razzmatazz to shot akin
to the standing ovation din
a hole in one gets for a win.

The cream screams to the top.

The razzle and dazzle of dance 
shake, rattle and roll of romance 
is enhanced by the oddball prance
of a jitterbug jive freelance.

Bebop is king of pop.

Jazz embodies the extra dash
of syncopated mish and mash
adding gems of splish, splosh and splash
improvisation in a flash.

Flip-flop until you stop.

Oops! John, I really love this poem. It surely would have finished at the top of the podium if it weren't for the extra lines you added in each stanza. Great writing, my friend. Charlie

A grab bag of dance and music that seizes the past and shakes it like rock n' roll. Congratulations on such a creative write - the top bebop in my book. Cheers, Brian
