An Ode to Jimmy Hendrix

Twas a rebel with soul:
a real sage of blues and rock'n roll,
played with a hummingbird's
speed and control

He and Dylan were as tight
as yin and yang
but purple haze Jimmy did his own thing
like a roaming, psychedelic African king

Man, that cat was high,
stone free: my kind of guy
let his freak flag fly

low, and

!!!HIGH!!!
