"Happy Birthday, Rae Armantrout!" [by Anthony Madrid via Facebook]

RAE ARMANTROUT (4/13)

Armantrout! Armantrout!
RAH RAH RAH
We’re takin’ all the garbage out
And AH HA HA

With a hatch-an-egg, hatch-an-egg
Howdja like me now:—
I want ’em both to hibernate
And have ’em show me how

With a troubadour, troubadour
Truman on the air:—
Like a Cuban toucan so that you can
Tell he doesn’t care

Just like a tuna leg and Armantrout
And RAH RAH RAH
We are learning how to talk about
The AH HA HA

Radio

I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark
