Monk Muzik

Happy Birthday Thelonious Monk

Monk tinks tonight

fine glasses clink

convivial banter

bubble pop blink

in breathing rooms

bit woofed and stirred

the smoke mint sound

we dare exhale

Monk swings about

a bell do ding

the huey blues

bird bops on wings

hips juicy moves

rubby mounds wet hump

slow drum rolls blow

dance steady bump

Monk rocks the house

the clock do tick

me feets be tappin

gonna busta trick

da boobies bounce

mouths all agape

we gettin down

like crazy apes

Monk’s muzik rides

a sonorous beam

levitatin hipsters

to places unseen

gosh groovy tunes

a damn good gig

we all stoked up

Monk we do dig  

Monk played alright

some swingin tunes

Happy B Day Monk

you're over the moon

Wow... reading this poem made my head bob and my shoulders roll (haha). It has some kind of rhythm to it that is mesmerizing and expressive. Love the images that dance in my head with this poem, and while I do not know who Thelonious Monk is, this is a beautiful homage to him.
