TAP DANCE

Ta tata tap, ta tata tap,
Tata tata tap, tata tata tap.
Who tapping who,
Bo Jangles come like boo;
Three Lettered Aberration
Spinal tap the nation;
Servers providing service
To Police and Secret Service;
Phone talk and e-mail,
Extortion and blackmail;
Eavesdropping what you say and write,
Raping constitutional rights;
Pimping with the blimp,
Smell like rotten shrimp;
Tonton Macoute,
Look the macco dey;
From CJ to President
Want to know where the info went;
Them tappers aint biting nice
With dey sophisticated device;
Take me foolish advice,
Like they only tapping for vice;
Ask Rachel Price;
Comedian like Martin
Lawrence tap dancing;
Big Man in a mess,
E-male in a dress;
Tap with pipe,
Tap without pipe;
Wire tap with a cause,
Legally of course;
Once we pass the laws,
Don’t worry about abuse,
You have nothing to lose
And everything to gain;
Don’t need to look for rain
If you not dancing cocoa in sun;
Once we have the laws in place,
Is tapping in your waist;
The whole country will be safe;
Is a tap-trap,
Tap for tap,
Tap versus tap,
A tap for a tap;
All who tapping,
All who was tapping,
Tap them back
To find out what they tapping,
To find out why they tapping,
To find out what they was tapping,
To find out why they was tapping;
To find out what they find out;
Tap the lines of the tappers;
Hold the perpetrators,
The dirty rotten tap dancers,
And put some tap in their oohs and aahs.
Ta tata tap, ta tata tap,
Tata tata tap, tata tata tap.

George Newton Vivian Chance (Trinidad and Tobago) -- member of the Poet Society of Trinidad and Tobago, http://poetssocietytt.blogspot.com/ and the World Poets Society, http://world-poets.blogspot.com/ -- born in Tobago on 3rd March 1957. While residing at Rio Claro was inspired to write over a hundred poems at the turn of the Millennium. Hobbies include playing wind instruments, building computers, observing nature, reading and writing poetry. Believes that the power of a song is in its ability to evoke emotions by the marriage of lyric and music but that music without lyric can be just as powerful, that lyric without music can also be just as powerful, that there is music in the lyric and that lyric can be simple yet profound. Also, in this the age of computers, would like to model his lines after simple and efficient code and, analogous to Object Oriented Programming, achieve most of his imagery from nouns and verbs, avoiding the bloat and excess of unnecessary adjectives. This is what he aspires to attain in his poetry.

I've known rivers:
I've known rivers ancient as the world and older
than the flow of human blood in human veins.

My soul has grown deep like the rivers.

I bathed in the Euphrates when dawns were young.
I built my hut near the Congo and it lulled me to sleep.

I looked upon the Nile and raised the pyramids above it.
I heard the singing of the Mississippi when Abe Lincoln
went down to New Orleans, and I've seen its muddy bosom turn
all golden in the sunset.

I've known rivers:
Ancient, dusky rivers.

My soul has grown deep like the rivers.

by Langston Hughes
