Arthur Vaso Poet Light Verse

Notes About The Poem

Ginger Baker

When I listen to the words of Ginger Baker
It dawns upon me
Not all Cream rises to the top
I sure wish someone would drum some sense into that old man
Is there not but one charitable Baker
To do us a favor and cook Ginger?

Kp Nunez June 23, 2015 at 12:23 PM Another witty wordplay on this write. Had google the guy as I have no idea who he is. Thanks for making me smile. My last comment tonight. :-)

Billy Jones June 21, 2015 at 5:36 PM There is nothing like a fool who fools himself, sometimes we should keep our mouths shut and let people wonder and not open it to remove all doubts, love this poem!

Paul Callus June 20, 2015 at 4:43 AM I admire your play on words in these witty lines of yours, Arthur. The Cream and Blind Faith drummer always has a lot to say, some to be taken with a pinch of salt. #7 // paul Arthur Vaso June 20, 2015 at 11:31 AM yes, just having a wee bit of fun with this! cheers

Nette Onclaud June 19, 2015 at 11:38 PM Sadly, the rocking trio of eric, ginger, and jack disbanded.. an intense, sentimental write, arthur!.. huggs Arthur Vaso June 19, 2015 at 11:56 PM Thanks Nette, even I know Eric Clapton this was a bit before my time, but had fun reading up and listening some youtubes!!!!! :)

Tim Smith June 19, 2015 at 8:45 AM Clapton was like 20 or 21 when they formed Cream after he played in the Yardbirds....they played mostly blues. He left because of Baker and formed Blind Faith with Steve Winwood...Baked is egocentric. Arthur Vaso June 19, 2015 at 10:59 AM Egocentric and baked! LOL

Andrea Dietrich June 15, 2015 at 3:32 PM I recall a group named Cream, so this must be as Jan said, the drummer!! He looks like he drank himself into a not so graceful old age. Arthur Vaso June 15, 2015 at 10:27 PM Yes, saw him in an interview recently, when I choose the photo, I choose the worst one to match his personality! LOL

Jan Allison June 15, 2015 at 11:52 AM A awesome drummer with Cream - sadly the ravages of drink and drugs sure did take their toll on him and his career:-( hugs jan xx Arthur Vaso June 15, 2015 at 10:27 PM Yes saw him in an interview recently, not the most humble kind person for sure! LOL Did you know he had a daughter? :)

Casarah Nance June 15, 2015 at 7:11 AM Odd, I have no idea who or what you are talking about, but I like do the get word play. ;) Arthur Vaso June 15, 2015 at 10:26 PM Well strangely enough I had no idea either, but I bet you heard of Eric Clapton! They played together in band called Cream. I saw him in an interview recently thus this poem. I had to google who was too! LOL
