Jazz Anatomy
my head is a trumpet
my heart is a drum
both arms are pianos
both legs are bass viols
my stomach the trombone
both lungs are flutes
both ears are clarinets
my penis is a violin
my chest is a guitar
vibes are my ribs
cymbals are my eyes
my mouth is the score
and my soul is where the music lies
Written by Ted Joans (1928-2003)
