ODE TO JAN: THE BONGO KING’S SLUMBERING PURPLE HAZE EXPERIENCE

Now I say it would certainly appear
That the rising of a new era is near
Led by a hero of Jantimous noteriety
Whose wild wiggle wafts of weird variety

Revolutionising un- moterised meriment
Consuming beats of countries and continents
Across Afro-Asiatic-Euro America he’s seen
The adventures only made possible in a dream

Multiple spacious temporally tinted extremes
 Of quirky hazy humerous means
All but  lyrics seem inept at describing the king
So of his bongo brilliance with open heart I sing

Not to philosiphise unquantifiable things
But the jan experience flies on fantastic wings
May the fabulous fruits of your flight be far fairing
And attain a balance between caring and daring

The washing machine spin-cycle of life is on
And few but the most crazy get anything done
You are a passenger with a ticket to any station
So here’s to your eccentric afro-actualisation

Like no other, I give much re(tro)spect to my jazzy brother
