duck walk

Every Friday my friend Clottee Hammons posts to Facebook a picture of one or more people celebrating Life, and she always captions it “Happy Friday friends.” This Friday it was a guy with a guitar, Chuck Berry I am reasonably sure, in midstride of what appears to be the Duck Walk. I commented: “Think I’ll go out for a Duck Walk today.” And I did do a lot of walking, it being a nice day; but then I came home and did a different walk, thus:

Here are the words:

Do-wop, blues, & Rock & Roll! We saw

Delinquent moves to scoff unwritten law

Upsetting but as smoooth as Yo-Yo Ma

Chuck Berry was wont to reveal

Concussional riffs-so unreel

Kiss Pat Ba-Boone goodbye, and peak

Keep Little Richard on his streak
