Learning the Saxophone, part 2 (IWY)
There’s this great Bob Dylan song whose title is repeated four times in its forthright chorus, thus:
I Want You
I Want You
I Want You
So bad
Honey, I Want You.
In its image-rich first verse there is reference to Silver Saxophones, thus:
The silver saxophones say I
Should refuse you . . .
Everything on the page I just made followed. It may be flavored by my recent partnerlessness (notice, for instance, how the word WANT is emphasized), but hey, so many love & longing songs have been fueled by such. I wonder if Mr. Dylan’s song had such roots. The Truth is out there, no doubt, but let’s find out later, if at all.
Here are the words to the triple acrostic:
Idle wallowing won’t play
If we’re wishing woo today
If that candlelight won’t do
Inch & pinch & bill & coo
Itches scratched may be très fou
TRIVIA: In the film BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S, Holly Golightly uses the phrase “très fou,” thus: “I suppose you think I’m very brazen or très fou or something.” It means Quite Crazy.
HISTORICAL NOTE: The movie 50 SHADES OF GREY is currently playing in theatres around the world.
