Ode From Joyce |
| I think I shall never fully unwrap |
| A gift lovely as American chap |
| American chap whose mouth is pressed |
| Against sweet earth flowing breast |
| American chap who looks at God all day |
| And lift his bony arms to pray |
| To pray |
| An American chap who may in Summer wear |
| A golden nest around his neck |
| Upon whose blossoms other men will slay |
| Leaving him intimate with pain |
| Such is the humming way of an earnest American soul |
| Buried deep in books, blues, jazz, and rock 'n roll |
| Poems are made by fools like this English lad |
| Only God can make an American chap |
| Don’t let an ocean of talent go to waste |
| Paintings of sorrow go to waste |
| Portions of emotion go to waste |
| Oh, don’t you dare |
| (An ocean of talent) |
| Don’t you let it go |
| (An ocean of talent) |
| To waste |
| (An ocean of talent) |
| Don’t let it go to waste |
| (Talent) |
