Satchmo's Trumpet - Homage To Louis Armstrong

Remembering Neil Armstrong

Extraterrestrial. An immune disorder. Your autism was evolving into a monster of twisted brain. Outside your home dozens of bodies were...

Lance Armstrong
Lance expects forgiveness now For coughing up the truth, Even though the clues were there For any paltry sleuth. Confessing all on Oprah’s show, He hopes to get on track, Believing that the sport would gladly Want to have him back. After years and years of lying, While his fans continued hoping, It’s a bit anti-climactic To admit that he was doping. A hero who has fallen Often...

Neil Armstrong
The great man is dead And he may find in this voyage So many Columbus that left us blind Without knowledge Of earth indisputable speck Steering the shipwreck With malfunctioned cameras of dream.

Louis Armstrong and Abraham Lincoln
Louis: How are things down there? Hear the Northern and Southern States are having quite the disagreement. Congrats for becoming president. Abraham: You're right about the unrest.
