Jazz - Free verse
Lennie Johnson 3rd

Jazz the birthplace of it all the two-step originators and hip hop advocators
The tune is addictive it could reach out and bite you like an alligator
And Mr. Duke Ellington said forget the haters and shoved adversity in their face
Mace the piano down in alcohol
While watch grown women rip the wall
It was so pure and fluent
Once your fingers started snapping you knew you were into it
Jazz the beat homicide
Killer of all other music, sweeping the rest off their feet and stealing the tide

Led by the Harlem Renaissance man which gave the Mo-town fabulous 5
Judged by many
Associated with plenty and identified by more
Zig
Zag feeling which led to forever greatness
