    Excellent tribute to Jack Kerouac, passed away in October 1969.

    From the dusty archives circa 1994

    Bongo Drums and Poet Spooks
    ----------------------------

    Hey Jack Kerouac,
    dharma magic in his hat.
    Beat boys clustered in his books,
    bongo drums and poet spooks.

    Hey Jack, look at that:
    ten Zen travellers
    hopped a train to no where, and

    hey Jack, read your book
    on a plane to no where, but
    Ginsberg barely was disguised
    and Gary Snyder, he
    was there. But

    hey Jack, heart attack
    no one lasts as long as that.

    So hey Jack, here's so long;
    I don't think that you'll be back
    though I whisper,
    "Look at that."



    Another good poem from Karen T

    Good to know that more Jack Kerouac writing will soon be available.
