Jazz On A Summer's Night Poem by david lessard

Jazz on a summer's night,
Swinging sounds of joy,
the moon, bouncing in its flight.

Satin Doll, What's New?
What Is This Thing Called Love?
Wailing in the blue.

The Bossa Nova beat,
the soft, enchanting mood,
people dancing in the park,
everyone gay, nobody rude.

Ah, such lovely notes of music!
Falling on the ear,
The young, the in-between, the old,
All the noise, that's sweet to hear!

Long live Jazz, and may the beat go on,
Blues and pop and classic too -
Get out and shake your fanny,
waltz, cha-cha and dipsy-do!
