A Poem Inspired By Louis Jordan

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Into a tent
I went
 
But the vent
had a dent
and a foul scent
 
Making this gent
feel like one cent
 
Shudda paid my rent
but no bux were lent

    1. Chuck Berry would have the first person
      to tell you that if he could speak from the dead,
      which he can't do, but we hear his voice every day
