I want bongos for my birthday
beat beat beat
Oh I want them in the worst way
beat beat beat
Listen to the poets
go at the words
Have you heard their thoughts curled
swirled
unfurled
about their heads?
Those poets glow, man
beat beat beat
I wanna go find some bongos, man
Find the beat
fire the heat
be complete with the time, the rhyme,
Oh so sublime
beat beat beat
Bongos, man.
Yeah.

(My birthday was this week. I did NOT get bongos. Boo hoo.)
(Or a beret or tight black pants, though that’s probably for the best).

Love this, can I play along with my congas? 🙂
Deal!
🙂
Nice rhythm and beats(no pun intended).
All about the beats, man. All about the beats.
Good groove.
Thanks, dude.
Happy birthday … Beat, beat, beat!
Thanks, man
(I mean, ma’am) 😉
Cool, daddeo!
OOOH!! I’d forgotten all about Daddy-o or daddeo or whatever! Good one. Need to work that in somehow.
Awwwwhh…. Happy belated birthday shawn!!! Hope you had a good one..
Ooh yes!! Sending bongos right away 😁❤️
Excellent!
Res office will be very confused by the shape of the box.
Happy Birthday! Can I come along and play with a tambourine?
Absolutely!
Happy Belated Birthday, with bongos, man- I mean ma’am. 😀
lol
Happy birthday 🙂
Thanks!
Happy birthday! I love the sound of bongos as well. There’s always next year 😊
Or a trip to the city…
Happy Birthday!!
Thanks, Deb!
Belated happy birthday! I can almost hear the bongos in this poem – sorry you didn’t get any! (Huh!!!)
Almost- I went to the music store last night, but they were closed. 😦
Happy belated!
Thank you. I went to the music store. I did not buy bongos (They were $100!) But for $60 I got a percussive pig, a miniature djambe drum, and a most melodious thumb piano. Those will be fun in the class room!
You’re curious about the pig, aren’t you? lol It is exactly like this one: http://www.siestacrafts.co.uk/product/oinking-pig-guiro.aspx
Lol I love them so cute! I’m glad you were able to purchase a few things! 🙂
It will be a fun class! I just made some shakers with medicine bottles. Not quite as cool, but hey! Some chopsticks on table tops, as well I think.
It sounds EXACTLY like an oinking pig! It’s so cool! 😉
My cousin and I have a running joke about piggies! I will have to think about getting one or two
You should! Besides the fun of the noise, it’s very cute. It has a very happy face.
