The Beat Of A Comedian

THE BEAT OF A COMEDIAN

them americans -
what a proud bunch.
they are the greatest when
it comes to supporting the poets.
just walk in any bookstore and
look at the best seller list.
there is great energy pouring
out of all them pens.
the dynamics of an illustrious society
are exploiting every possible angle
each and every day.
these legendary scribes are
first rate; and you can find
a few of them in a coffee shop
reading aloud without a crowd.
sometimes the best humor
can be found in any american tradition!!
