Jazz Kazoo

All American

Underappreciated.

Underestimated.

A Great American Invention, it remains 

Culturally relevant, it is without refrain.

Pinnacle of hay-day innovation,

Emergent from tribal imagination.

For their espionage, a renovation,

Appalachian idea, local inspiration.

Refined in Buffalo, fresh, new steez,

It’s a Great American City.

Cheapened during war by Chinese,

plastic, what an awful pity.

Ever heard of JAZZ KAZOO?

music, not noise it’s what it do.

Mechanical humming, vibration, art,

star spangled great, & don’t fall apart.

Intuitive design and redesign too,

from traditions of old it’s the kazoo.

Appreciate it.

Learn it.

Play it.

Know about it.

T’was American renaissance,

A fine wine & a special sconce.

Ripe with promise & grit,

USA made, this thing is it.

For ‘what we have here’,

a Clever design engineer.

Free and fair, a sure victory so brilliant,

from inception, it was awfully resilient.

Despite war & the overwhelming despair,

jokes on China, see the rockets red glare.

The national instrument, oh as it should be,

but who’d dare believe such a task to oversee?

It’s so far from being a toy,

Yet, still it’s for all to enjoy.

It’s Jazz Kazoo, may it always ring true,

T’was a new one to me gifted from you.
