journal poem 47 – marco
Plywood windows
And Tyvek
It takes two semesters at a college to find out
An entire state is just too expensive
For a middle class person all by himself.
A great place to grow up
Just as great to retire in
But to make it? Oy!
Amway
Making the world safe for
Cleaning products
So they say an Avocado is 120 calories
And a grapefruit is 52.
Can a small bag of peanuts be about the same?
Strange parody: I compose words
To Django Reinhardt’s instrumental,
“Dapne.”
Here’s just a smidgeon:
Daphne, you do me wrong.
Daphne, oh daphne
I sing you this song
Because, well yes, because
you did me so badly,
I loved you so madly
But you slighted and spited and smote me so,
Maybe I’ll just sing along
Another
Some body named Daphne
Done me wrong song.
Does the phrase, “Hindsight is 20/20” hold up
If you’re nearsighted?
And Ashley Montagu will teach you how to curse.
Now I must ask, is Phemus famous or just well regarded?
Were you there when Red Auerbach told K.C. Jones,
“Think Yiddish, dress British.”

Journal Poem #55 – from Volume 2 of the upcoming Journal Poems
Journal Poem #55
from JournalPoems Volume 2.
Here I sit pensive, dark and dreary
In a restaurant so expensive
Airplane mode
Typing haikuish Poem
Sitting in window seat
Awaiting land.
So I told the pizza chef, listen I know you’re still trying
To develop the world’s greatest sourdough crust
But you’re not quite there.
At the risk of sounding offensive
I must tell you,
This dough just taste
Like Matzos without the salt.
He just smiled and said, old friend:
Let me remind you, since you’re the one who told me
Dale Carnegie was quoted saying,
“This isn’t a bagel, it’s a white bread with a hole.”
And it’s not his fault.
We all want a better car
A better car, we all want a better car
Isn’t it just a little offensive
We here in America
Unhappy with the car we have
We all want a better fone
A better fone than the one we have
It’s a bit much, we, here unhappy
With the fone we own
We all want a better house
House
House
Isn’t it wild
We, so unhappy with the house we got
A better job?
Yeah, we all want a better job
Want, want, want,
Think we need, so unhappy
With the job we keep
What we really want
and need,
And deserve?
Simply a better life.

Megan Thee Songwriter — a poem
Megan Thee Songwriter
a poem
by marco
I’m writing a song called Megan Moroney
It goes like this.
You’all made her cowrite the songs she wrote
She got some extra hits anyhow
Plus she made you look stupider than you did her.
You can’t hold down a real writer can ya?
Unfortunately it’s the umpteenth
“Look what they done to my song ma…”
But she’ll win out
because this really is the century one person will write a song
instead of 5 cowriters, 4 ghost writers, 3 composers, 2 recomposers
and a Partridge in a school bus.
January 2025
Mystic, Conn.

Blogging A Wild Dream:
WILD DREAM:
Bean and Tea Leaf hanging out with several people crewing a bus n truck retrospective of Jesse Ed Davis’ life in music.
Eddie Van Halen and John Cougar walk in and I say hello.
No big thing for some reason. Eddie asks me which of the herbal teas are truly herbal and I have to tell him honestly almost none.
The Majestic Mint is the only one that has no sugar and no caffeine.
John Cougar doesn’t know who I am so Eddie has to explain. One of the most underrated so and so, never got a break because of his kiss-no-one’s-ass attitude.
Oh.
Well nice to meet you then.
Yeah, likewise, I say unenthusiastically. He asks me if I use 9s or 10s and what picks I’m into.
Ernie Ball 11s I tell him and only only only ones that Jimi Dunlop makes.

I’m missing two of this cover’s chords and I still get tripped up trying to quickly form a chord on the uke but it was a guitar chord if you know what I mean.
I’m quite surprised, astonished maybe, at how quickly it’s coming together though.
Here, see what I mean.

Almost Famous – A Movie and a Musical and a Way to Be.
Marco Frucht pictured here with Cameron Crowe at Blue Gene’s Pub, National Theater Institute, Waterford, Conn. 18nov23
Corny joke alert:
— So yesterday I met Cameron Crowe
— Oh I know that name, what’s he famous for?
— Almost Famous
— Oh, what’s he almost famous for?
One morning I was telling a 7th grade class about how I used to sell cassettes of my music out of a van while busking on street corners all over the U.S. I found an old 4-track cassette tape the other day with early masters, and a girl raises her hand and says, “what’s a cassette tape?” And a boy goes, “Oh my dad has those, it’s like a VHS tape with the two little spinners but they’re smaller,” and she asks “what’s a VHS tape?” Not picking on her. I polled the class right away and there were only two other children besides that boy and myself. Everyone else had no idea what either of those two old pieces of technology are/were.
Last week Cameron Crowe and Tom Kitt were here at the O’Neill reworking their B’way production of Cameron’s movie “Almost Famous.”
It was so neat to meet Cameron and see Tom again. He were here a few years ago workshoping his play “Superhero.”
Even more neat was seeing some of their work as a staged reading with Equity actors and production crew. I have a good feeling about this play and it’s journey back to Broadway and everywhere else it will go. I sure do hope it gets licensed for High School productions and then Little Steven’s TeachRock.org group can include it in curriculum, right?

Sharing Lyrics Of My Song Song.
Yes there’s Redundant Song, Hate A Song, Arms Song, Verseless Song, and Song Song.
Of all
of them, most are talking about my “Song Song,” lately. So I guess I should paste up lyrics.
I’d always hoped the bots and search engines would do it for me!
hehehehe.
Cheers, marco frucht songwriter, guitarist, poet and van driver.
I got a song I wrote today Thought up the music the other day Came with the words and the chorus line
I got a song it goes like this Sounds kinda country with a little bit o’ soul a little too mellow for rock and roll
I got a song I wrote in school Right in the middle of English class Added the music the following day
Here is my chorus line Not too bright but it’s catchy Listen to my chorus line Daddy Addy Oop Op Ay…
I got a song about politics Buerocrats and all them pricks All about how they get their kicks!
I got a song about sour grapes Kinda people who make you hate Just when you feel like callin’ it quits
[ CH ]
I got a song about hating guts Kinda people who drive ya nuts Just when you feel like beatin’ ’em up!
I got a song I’ll sing for you Only if you got a minute or two If you don’t then be on your way
[ CH ]

Thank you, person who taught me troubleshooting, whoever you are…
I’d like to thank whoever taught me troubleshooting so long ago.
I think I’ve used that skill set five times in the past two months!
And this time I just really want to tell the whole world about.
OK, so my fob to my car was starting to work less and less, 2nd and 3rd try each time to get my car locked or unlocked.
No problem, I have a second one tucked away somewhere from when I purchased this vehicle right? I fish that out and pretty quickly that one’s working its way toward taking a 3rd and 4th try. I switch back and not even in days that one passed the 4th try and was taking sometimes half a dozen tries each time. Great, does it just need a battery or is there something massively wrong with the electrical system?? Something I certainly can’t afford right now if it’s not warrantied or covered in a recall or anything, yikes.
I go to AutoZone to use their cardboard testing display thing right? The light comes on just fine every time. First try and all. I’m not sure but the light coming on looks feint maybe. Nothing to compare it to.
So before going in and asking at the dealership I figured I’d trouble shoot two more times with brand new batteries because that will cost me far less than asking them to clean, repair or replace the brains of the car!
I buy one battery and swap it in. Right away the car starts locking and unlocking on the first try. So now I’m just thinking I need to buy a second CR1616 battery in the not too distant future, whenever I can better afford to just buy extra things again.
So thank you to whoever taught me troubleshooting. Some was my dad when I was a little kid but the bulk of it really was in Fort Gordon, GA., when I was in A School for the Signal Corps. Lineman tool and my trusty Swiss Army knife and I’d learned how to troubleshoot just about anything. Yay! Oh man, what was that Signal Drill Sergeant’s name?? I’ll have to try and look it up in old journals because I really do want to think the old guy if he’s still around. He’s the one who didn’t like us swearing around him, saying he’d compromise on most of the cuss words, but absolutely no fbombs and no G- D-, etc.
Didn’t find out until graduation when one of the kids in my squad wanted to marry his high school sweetheart right on the same day he graduated. Drill Sergeant goes, “Does he have blood test squared away?” Yes. “Marriage license?” Yupper, “well then I can.” What? Drill Sergeant. You mean to tell me that Drill Sergeants can perform wedding ceremonies? “Ordained black southern Baptist preachers can,” he told me, wow. I didn’t know. Anyhow, the coping skills that guy had, wow, and the ones he imparted on me? Almost as much wow.
Thank you, thank you thank you.
