erhmm - gulp! gulp! gulp!

notice Jem the accent is on the sloping forward diphong??
Actually I was the one who was fooled, when the black screen came up first in the post preview it had the little “Play” triangle symbol in the centre, a ha says I, I’m on the pigs back now, so I went ahead with it, more fool me. Then came the words “An error has occurred, please try again later”
All this technical knowledge is dead handy when the going is good, but just wait till after the big bang comes, and it is coming, it will be totally useless and the first person who can rub two sticks together to light a fire will be King, so it is written and so it shall be, as the fella said.
The video was a real Caw Cajun family playing together, watch yerman’s bare feet going like the hammers of hell on the left, a significant move used in the old Crow Buffalo dance where they used to sit on the severed animals head and shake their feet in the air, alas you never see it performed anymore thanks to Buffalo Bill.
Here’s the full Url -Geller.
That Gumbud video won’t play here Gummy, it says it’s blocked on copyright grounds.
Jem you chose a difficult one. &feature=youtu.be this bit needed to be omitted. It happens and you have to work it out.
I’m fed up of these utube workshops - can we get on with the serious business of running and committing to this thread in a meaningful way - ah yes some bloody utubes won’t play across borders - it’s an international treaty thing!

caution:
be warned at the outset
this poem is about nothing;
that is,
it is
about ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling
about bing-bong-bing-bong-bing;
just terribly about nothing
about nothing this poem is;
that is, there is No Thing
no matter or anti-matter
in this verse that only grows
better and better
into zilch and zero
and so is most logically therefore
about nothing;
that is,
it is
about ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling
about bing-bong-bing-bong-bing;
just terribly about nothing
2
and of course
the apologists and admirers
may seek some profundity
even in this Dada absurdity
but I must leave you
you ding-dongs
giving the kiss of life to dead earthworms
and so I leave you to
your eternal confound-ity
3
and the critics from the left
might pounce
and might utter
with much solemnity:
but aren’t all your poems
about nothing?
well, you zombies,
then this is certainly not the first
of my no-things
and neither have you seen the last;
thank you very much
and the critics from the right
might pounce
and might jeer
with indecent profanity:
but isn’t all poetry
about sweet nothings?
and my most prosaic answer is:
well, then you, liverless louts,
countless in life are rewarded for nothings
and you vote in leaders for nothing;
countless nations are run on nothing
and great businesses earn money on nothing;
why then, you one-eyed wimps,
and you weakling hypocrites
why then do you jeer at
poet-innocents who are content
to openly propagate nothing?

a reminder
this poem is about nothing;
that is,
it is
about ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling
about bing-bong-bing-bong-bing;
just terribly about nothing
unnecessary repetition
for maximum irritation:
this poem is about nothing;
that is,
it is
about ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling
about bing-bong-bing-bong-bing;
just shockingly about nothing

conclusion
still, this nothing-poem aspires
to the pages
of the Complete Works of Poet Nothing
