Cab Calloway



Cab Calloway


Make 'em blow that thing,

CC!

Pull the strings

And flip the switches,

You,

The man behind the curtain,

You,

The conductor.


Swing it,

CC!

Protest without a frown.

But a grin

From sea to shining teeth,

With hair flailing the wind,

Knees bent,

Flashing eyes,

Driving this train into the ground,

Method in your musical madness.

Cab Calloway was the coolest of the cools. What a badass!

I think the subject of your email should be the title of your poem.
