Xylophone

Xanadu may exude such percussive bliss
Youthful romps and a coy stolen kiss
Lightly tapping in jaunty melifulous splendor
Orpheus muse prances playfully tender
Pounding with swift light jazzy flourishes
Heart and soul the xylophone nourishes
Oblivious to troubles I cannot stop my feet
Notions of love brightly swing to the beat
Each crisply chimed note a gift beyond sweet

Lionel Hampton one of the old-time greats, vibraphone, a xylophone with tubes beneath it, as you know. The French love their jazz as much as the American if not more, Yann. Thank you, Robert
