The night lit with fire
Dutch Masters™, weed, chicken wings,
boiled eggs, Crown Royal™
The party smelled of Magic Shave™
new improved smell
Tabu®, Jean Nate®, Hai Karate®
Shooed from the grown-up talk

in the middle of the den
with a big pair of earphones

He gave me a coffee mug
with a picture of the Rhine
Put a capful of his whiskey in
grabbed some sugar cubes
stirred it in my cup
put some coffee
stirred that up

is what you drink
when you listen to
the PHD’s of Jazz
