Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for May 21, 2019

I thought you were going to say “He’s more into the smokin’ weed stuff.”

Sadly, he later fell prey to a hep, cool cat.

And most of the time, he just wings it.

He’s a beaknik.

He must be a Bohemian Waxwing. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Bohemian_Waxwing/id

I saw the best birdbrains of my generation….

I literatarily got that.

the bird is the word

Maybe he should’ve been a parrot?

All jaw, no caw.

Smoking a “J”??

Oooh how poetic….he takes flight at the mere thought of a verse

He’s just a night owl.

But he enjoys the occasional Charlie Parker solo.

Jack Sparowouac?

Can you hear me snapping my fingers?

Seed man, seed man / park bench crying / old lady laughing / bread crumbs tossed

R.I.P. Ken Nordine.

Oooh! The rare “blue hipster” bird. The next bird I’m looking for is the even rarer “crooning elvis” bird.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say………………oh heck forget it

Is his name Allen Ginsbird?

Kinda like tweeting, but without the phone?

There’s a Church here (in Utah) that has a weekly program of ‘music and the “spoken word”’. Maybe the waxwing’s been converted?
