yo yo yo

it's not that you
don't like rap or hip
hop music, it's just
that perhaps
you are too old
to appreciate its
complicated lyrical
composition. not to
mention the varied
thumping of drums
and scratching records
backwards and forward.
you imagine how hard
it must be to find
words that rhyme with
fire truck, and itch,
chicks and rocks.
drugs and thugs.
so what if it sounds
like dr. seuss on crack,
people seem to enjoy
it. you see and hear
these rap afficianados
in their cars
with the windows
rolled down gyrating
like june bugs on a hot
summer day, throwing
their arms about
like a sunday church
choir down at
the first baptist
church. sometimes it
sounds so mean and harsh.
yo, but it's not.
it's just another way
of saying something
like I love you, but
with a twist. you do
like how many of them
have funny names with
the word ice in them,
like Italian ice. yo.
here's a short sample
of his work.
give me some strawberry
while I walk to the
library. gots to check
out a book cause my
kindle got took.
