The Crooked Horn Poem by James Dudley

Check out hornman
On the corner
Blowin'
Syncopated notes
Flowin'
In the wind
Crooked horn
Moanin'
Groanin' away
To a level where it's
Never been
People out shoppin'
Stop n listen
Crooked horn riffin'
Scattin'
Scalin
Wailin some ole
Jazzy bebop refrain
Reminiscent of Bird
Prez
Coleman Hawkins
John Coltrane
A Love Supreme
A Love Supreme
Check out that crooked horn
Scream
Notes risin' n divin'
Crissin' and crossin n
Hornman endorsin'
His lyrical flow
With a melody
So warm so tender
And crooked horn
On the corner
Blowin' n sweet surrender
