I can play percussion

by Jared Fladeland


bum. chik. ba-bum. chik. ba-bum bum chik. bum. chik.

I've got to tell the world a secret.

bum. chik. ba-bum. chik.

I'm not who you think I am.

ba-bum bum chik. bum. chik.

I've got mad poets' disease.

bum. chik. ba-bum. chik.

I'm dying of the black plague.

ba-bum bum chik. bum. chik.

My entire closet is filled with black items.

bum-bum-bum bum-bum-bum bum. chik.

I love the world today.

chik.

Hah! It never ocurred to me to use drumese in verse.

I'm training to become a Music Therapist, and this seems to have tones of that within it; using music as a form of communication, and to confide a 'secret'. I like it.
I'd like to hear it read aloud to get the exact feel of it.
