jazz

It's a fact!
Jazz is back!
The kids think it is really gone
unless they've got their glasses on.
They jitterbug jive, they bees these knees,
they share their bootleg mp3s.
Clear and present danger? Yeah!
Which is why, after conferring with the Cabinet and Joint Chiefs of Staff
I am declaring a WAR ON JAZZ.
