Oh my goodness my Granny said Oh My goodness what have you done with Jake and Haystack
Yeah we're country boys but we also love Chicago poetry
folks. These play button are contageous. Read and hear our own Janet
Kuypers Made
any Difference?
Ya know? Sometimes
it's The Trouble with
Loving You but We'll
Make it Through Hard
Times
Here is our friend and
much published writer Seymour Shubin
with The Bet
Lately I have been
publishing lyrics from my songs as poems. Lyrics tend to repeat phrases
people ask for in search engines. Some poems go viral. Some mp3
recordings tend to go a little viral too. Here is a new rhyming poem
derived from our most viral downloaded recording, Baby I Really Love and Need You.
by Jake
and Haystack

Hey somebody really cool showed up. We welcome Seymour Shubin with Joel. I think we have
something here. Looking for more poems from Mr. Shubin, yesseree by

Enough
with this
droopy sloopy gooey sadness. No one is there anyway. I publish to the
void and the bots. Don't tap on the
glass. There is no one out there. Only aliens reading this a million
years from now in a distant galaxy. Lyric is good to
go Too
Late For Sleeping Melody is pretty too. It's a song about
love, my alien friends . An emotion we humans had before we blew
ourselves up. Off to the studio.
A
poem called Earthen Jar.
12,000
files later I re-announce the first poem published
on this site in 1996.. This poem owes a poetic debt to poets T S
Eliot,"Do I dare to eat a peach" and to William Carlos Williams' poem
about the old lady eating the plums. He said :
They taste good to her
They taste good to her
Ah Summer Breeze
always brings lovely wisdom I do not have. Here is Crazy Old Lady
It's
been twelve
years since, here, on this
page, I announced That's
Not My Father by Marilyn McIntyre. Every day people ask
a search engine for dying father poem and this poem ranks high. I
announce it again
at the death of my mother, Maria Gomez Jackson Taggart (1926-2011). The
poem makes me cry but it has also provided comfort for thousands since
1998. Now it brings comfort to me. Thank you again Marilyn..
Here is some Not so
famous lost art..
Lately I have been
publishing lyrics from my songs as poems. Lyrics tend to repeat phrases
people ask for in search engines. Some poems go viral. Some mp3
recordings tend to go a little viral too. Here is a new rhyming poem
derived from our most viral downloaded recording, Baby I Love You .
It
started out as Everybody is Talking and is another
search engine hit! We get good traffic to the song too.
Many
sites are streaming free music from us, about 500 full downloads a day.
These
songs are doing quite well.
There is a growing trend for our mp3 urls to be embedded in peoples
phones. Every time they listen it's a download from us. This trend is
growing fast.. The trend to streaming music content is evident in our
logs. Someday you won't actually download the music. It will be
streamed by the content provider every time you play the song.
Here is a new song He
Really Loves That Car or listen to the mp3
