Following in the musical footsteps of Larry Rochelle with a new Artie Shaw poem.

-------------------------------------

ARTIE SHAW


He would have been a good snake charmer;
he'd open his wicker basket
and out they'd come
all the snakes
swaying to Begin the Beguin.

Artie in his turban and whites
on the road to Morocco
with Bob and Bing.

Frenesi, Temptation -
he could make the clarinet
sing sing sing.

Yes he could; he was a truly talented man, and also a glutton for punishment - married 8 times!
