POEM: War & Peace

A. John Graves | 12/28/09

Back to the News Summaries

Peace on earth, goodwill to men:
What a lovely thought.
As long as we've been on this earth,
It's what nice folks have sought.

But why is it just something that
We talk and think about,
While hating folks and fighting wars,
Seems we can't do without?

And what's this philosophic talk
Have to do with Nello's?
There've been no fights, just warm respect
Among its music fellows.

The gang that comes at five o'clock
To eat, drink, and be jolly
Each Wednesday eve, just has no time
For anti-social folly.

Perhaps the fun and fellowship
That marks each jazz occasion
Should be the model for the world,
Toward a friendlier persuasion!

Happy New Year!
