I Like Kenny G

There. I’ve said it
And if that makes me whiter than Wonder Bread
So be it.
His music takes me back
To a brief time when I was happy,
To someone who made me happy.
Don’t tell my black friends
Or I won’t have any
Or my musician friend
Who plays “real” jazz,
Chords so discordant
They clash with the furniture.
Did you know Kenny G’s
Real name is Kenneth Gorelick?
That should count for something.
And he can be mean, too,
Like Miles Davis.
And he plays a smoking hot clarinet.
We’re not talking milquetoast here.
I like Kenny G.
There. I’ve said it.
