Clyde’s Prime Rib

a cool spot
to
unwind
and sip
your preferred brand
of
distillation
in
a smoke-filled
rib joint
with
its upscale menu
reminiscent of
the nightspots
of
the 1960’s

dimly - lit
cocktail lounges
with
video poker machines
to try one’s luck
hardwood floor
for
the frolicking souls
with nimble legs
influencing
hips
and youthful stamina

a
perfect match
for the
sophisticated sounds
of
tonight’s
featured jazz trio

a
drummer tapping
to create a
steady musical pulse
at the same time
accentuating
a feeling of swing
filling the gaps
energetically
with
color and texture
kicking and prodding
a rumbling bass
double stopping
frantically
to a
demanding
keyboard artiste

players
in the house
standing by
eager
to
join in

while
I sit
jitterbugging
in
my mind
