[Rhythm Thief]

Talking of poems ... anyone remember Keith Richards falling out of that coconut tree a few years back? This is by Murray Lachlan Young, and really needs reading aloud.

"What the hell did you think you were doing?
So blind that you just couldn't see.
Not a thought for your legions of worshipping fans
as you shinned up the trunk of that coconut tree.

If you're goin to go Keith, go Keith, go.
If you're going to go Keith, go Keith, go.
If you're going to go Keith, go Keith, go ...

... but don't do it like that Keith, no Keith, no.

Go in the middle of a hard blues riff,
go in the middle of a smacked - up spliff.
A speedball death plunge Lear Jet smash,
a coked - up gunfight, a high speed car crash.
Coal black eyes, cracked rock 'n' roll skin
with your hand on the fretboard, cigarette grin.
Do it like a kingpin debauchee, but ...
... not falling out of a coconut tree.

C'mon Keith, what did it to you, what goaded you on?
Was it Ronnie would who said you should?
Was it Elton John
who you tried to prove wrong
when he called you King Kong?
Did you snag your sarong?
C'mon Keith, baby, tell me
What the hell was going on?

If you're going to go Keith, go Keith, go.
If you're going to go Keith, go Keith, go.
If you're going to go Keith, go Keith, go.
but DON'T do it like that Keith, no Keith no!"
