My beloved Santa Monica Traditional Folk Music Club is holding its annual White Elephant sale during the May hoot. I write a monthly column for the Cat ‘N Banjo, which is the SMTFMC’s newsletter, and it’s due tomorrow.
So here’s a poem for you and a poem for my column to encourage our members to bring in their stuff.
ALLEY TREASURES
by April Halprin Wayland
I found a drum with just two dents.
You found a flute-ish thing that hums.
Zak found a bell, a little bent.
Sam picked us each a purple plum.
I thump my drum,
You hum-dee-hum,
Zak rings his bell
Sam dribbles plum.
The kid who threw out all this stuff
Could never ever understand
That her old junk was just enough
To make our back street bebop band
