LUMBERJACK
“Oh no sir
I don’t know how to dance
I’m a simple lumberjack
I’ve been living in the woods for
decades
Oh no
I won’t dance
the only music I know is the chain saw
biting trunks &
branches oh no
I’m an ordinary
wood cutter who never danced…”
While listening to him
one could observe his hips
able of a pitch and wiggling
his shoulders swaying as he was
tossing landing and piling logs …
oh yes … he knows about dancing!
Le bûcheron
« Oh non monsieur
je ne sais pas danser
je suis un simple bûcheron
j’ai vécu plusieurs décennies dans les bois
oh non
je ne danserai pas
la seule musique que je connaisse c’est la morsure
de la tronçonneuse dans les arbres &
leurs branches oh non
je suis un coupeur
de bois ordinaire je n’ai jamais dansé … »
Tout en l’écoutant
on pouvait observer ses hanches
capable de pitcher d’onduler
ses épaules roulaient tandis qu’il
jettait recevait et empilait des bûches ….
Oh que si … il sait danser!
Love it — and of course I think of the Lumberjack song from Monty Python!
