Listening to Ruben Cruising


from the ABC set

Doo-wop on caffeine and nicotine:
Pachuco vocals and Frank's bass baritone.
Songs of dumb-ass teenage love,
and sly euphemism.
Listen out for Igor sneaking
into that fountain of love,
and Euclid's sax playing -
melodious - for once.
Overdose on the brainy
and the banal.
Anyway the wind blows
I'll stuff up the cracks.
Pass me that jelly roll gum drop
'til my heart goes pop.
