TEDDY THE FISHIn combined homage to two of my favoritesaints I offer this rap. It is my interpretationof what Lord Buckley might have saidabout Theodore Sturgeon .. .Mlords and miladies of the Royal Court . .Here ah is again heres me and theres you. Now I heard all you cats talkin’ ‘bout who the greatest cat in the world was talkin’ ‘boutDr. A and Quarrelin Harlan and High Gee Wells and Admiral Bob and Ten-Foot Pohl and Herb Varley on his Verb Harley and theLawd knows there aint a cat alive that can blow the way of Virile Cyril Kornbluth used to do—but ahmo put a cat on you ... dat was thesweetest ... gonest ... wailinest ... grooviest cat that ever stomped upon dis swingin sphere And they call dis-yar cat—Teddy the FishThats what they called him Teddy the Fish cuz he swung skiffy he wailed skiffy he gassed skiffy he grooved skiffy and ahmo tellyou why: you see skiffy was bugged wit the critic. Evy time skiffy people wanna pass the jug to the neighbor go up to a mundane sayDig a taste of this brother WHAM here come the critic start puttin it down: Dat stuff is bad jazz go further it aint no real jazz atall fact what it is is Top Forty. And PFFFFT TWEET the mundane split the scene and there stand the skiffy cat stoneless: bugged emto death.That was before Teddy the Fish blew in on the scene you see—and the day the Fish blew in on the scene seemed to be that critics bigswingin day cuz he was into that highbrow bag up to his shoulders wailin up an insane breeze. Sayin: them skiffy people is tone deafand they got no heart and they got no soul got no cre-dentials dont know no chords they aint no serious cats and furthermorewlwever heard of em Then he look up-and here come the Fish-lookin like the merriest goat you ever see makin the scene wid his bad buddy Admiral Bob
