The beatnik poem

The beatnik poem

I sit in a room where
The lights are dim
Where the smoke fills
The air and all the cats
Zoom over it

Someone plays the bongos
Someone plays the guitar
While a girl reads her poem
Ode to a donut

Β Β  Β  Β  Β Ode to a donut
Ode to a donut Daddy-o
It is round, doesn’t make any soundΒ 
And has a hole in the middle
it fills the soul ode to a donut
Can you dig it.Β 

And the bongos play, so does
The guitar as all the cats
Zoom around the smoke
Fill the room
The beatnik poem.

Until now and thanks for sharing Greg

Well captured Greg. I see the smoke rising, hear the bongo and guitar and the donut hole, maybe it was just a time for rabbit holes, where did they lead?
