(Here's a new random poem I wrote about nothing! LOL! )

Should I Bring My Clarinet? (I Could Practice In The Car)
By: Noah Eaton
3/31/06

*

...who's that,
playing with the drum machine?

(I don't know)

*

Should I bring my clarinet?
(I could practice in the car)
Should I bring my clarinet?
(I could practice in the car)

Blowing my piccolo to altissimo,
dropping the scone on the bishop’s throne.

Should I bring my clarinet?
(I could practice in the car)
Should I bring my clarinet?
(I could practice in the car)

Throwing from my long bow of cocobolo,
a frenzied Italian marching band soul.

Pitch me an acai bowl,
and a tray of wasabi peanuts,
and I shall foot patrol with the oboe,
swoon with the bassoons lickety cut,
the trumpeter exposes the theme,
and my mission is its embroidering,
so before you head to the auditor,
buy me a six-case of Piranha Outrageous energy drink.

Should I bring my clarinet?
(I could practice in the car)
Should I bring my clarinet?
(I could practice in the car)

Making summer haw of Artie Shaw,
shrieking like a Dixieland macaw.

Should I bring my clarinet?
(I could practice in the car)
Should I bring my clarinet?
(I could practice in the car)

Benny Goodman must be my conjoined twin,
Woody Herman must be my patrilineal kin.

Ever since my Tamagotchi lost its batteries,
and is left parched of digital thirst,
I’ve been opening these emotional floodgates,
letting my deepest feelings emerge,
bouncing on the backseat like a Mexican jumping bead,
with a shoebox of interjections interspersed,
so while you’re at the rotary,
I’ll be submersed in bebop’s jaw droppin’ verse...

This clarinet is like a clarinet to me
(And that’s all that truly matters)
This clarinet is like a clarinet to me
(I could cook it up in fritter batter)
This clarinet is like a clarinet to me
(I don’t wanna play spin the platter)
This clarinet is like a clarinet to me
(Your geologist buddy is quite a chatter)

...quit playing with the drum machine.

(Sorry...

...you gotta admit it's infectious!)

Infectious, indeed! lol

I absolutely have to show this poem to my boyfriend's son who plays the clarinet in his school band. His Dad jokingly tells him to practice playing it in the car! lol

This was a delightful read, Dear Delightful One!
