Welcome to Elephant Small Vol 2. This is the second in a series of five ebooks that cover five years of original verse previously published on my weblog 'Elephant Small'. Vol 2 covers edited highlights from the years 2008-2010



Excerpt

16. Gobsmacked!!!



Precise Peter

Had a way with words

And he’d always

State it clear

He said accurate description

And articulation

Formed the essence

Of his style of speech


Now he played guitar

In a four-piece band

That he named

‘Other Hits Include…’

Carlos and Jimi

Had nothing on Peter

He could teach them

A thing or three


The first time I saw him

Perform a solo

Fingers fairly flew

From fret to fret

An improvised version

Of that old song ‘Layla’

But his vocals…

They weren’t up to much


I said “Hey Peter,

That’s a mean sounding banjo”

He looked offended

As he spoke to me

“That’s not a ‘banjo’;

That’s a classic ‘Fifty Nine

Gibson Les Paul Standard…

In Sunburst


“It looks alright to me”,

I was joking

He adopted

A condescending tone

“If one can’t distinguish

Between Formby and Clapton

Then one should just…

Keep your big gob shut.”
